Thanks 50X. I'm looking forward to driving it one day.

The new exhaust is also 409 stainless. I had intended to get the old exhaust ceramic coated, but it was actually cheaper to do the new pipes in stainless and skip the coating. Some of these pictures are of regular steel pipe before I decided to do the stainless. I figured I had better add that before I had some folks scratching their heads saying that it didn't look like stainless.

The exhaust currently stops just in front of the axle. After I lowered the car to where I thought it should be, there was simply no room to go over the axle without cutting into the trunk and that ain't happenin'. I'm going to wait until I am completely finished with any suspension mods before going any further. I will have to run it under the axle. Not my preference, but the reality of available space sometimes overrules what you want to do. Maybe I'll do an exit like the XKE. Two in the center!

There is also now plenty of clearance around the starter. That's important to me both for heat soak as well as ease of service. Very important if you're laying on your back in an Auto Zone parking lot on the Power Tour!

One thing to note - I was on the phone with a Holley tech discussing my idea to mount the ECU. Almost as an afterthought I asked him about using the O2 sensor provision in the LS6 manifold. He recommended not using that hole and adding another bung a few inches downstream from the manifold since they felt that would give a better reading on the gasses. Interesting and surprising (to me anyhow) to say the least, that the OEM sensor location wasn't considered good enough for the new wideband O2 sensor.
