Grip,
Nice lookin system, definately the baddest lookin exhaust around.

Did you ever consider putting larger mufflers in place of the 2 single ones?
Its been said that the X-pipe should be as close to the collectors as possible but, I'm runnin a di/do w/x built in. Do you think it would be rediculous to run an X-pipe in front of my di/do 14568? I'm running my pipes the same way but exiting like your original system. I ask because you have the X as well as a di/do. Curious if it affects anything performance wise? The x will be roughly 3' before the muff.

Thanks in advance

no new pics; had to send out a few parts for minor machine work in an effort to get things going.

I think I caught the damn bird flu, I've been down hard for the last 5 days, I wish this on no one, holy crap!

you need to use 5052 aluminum on those brackets.....6061 is a PITA to bend and will develop cracks after bending.
