Thanks Dan. I wanted the undercar exhaust and the roll bar delete, but I wanted a hood scoop (for practical as well as appearance reasons) and an oil cooler. So she's a bit of a bastard, but she's my bastard!

As for the exhaust, talk about tight packaging. There was simply no room for error when they were built by Kirkham. Originally, they looked like the photo taken with them adjacent to the headers.


The pipes were fabricated using a dummy block and heads in Provo. Due to tolerance stack-ups and the inevitable subtle differences in position of the block, heads, and transmission, the driver's side pipe didn't fit. So, I had some flex couplers tig welded in by a local exhaust fabricator.


If anyone is considering a full undercar exhaust, I strongly recommend using these. Plus it really helps with vibration isolation. Wouldn't want my pretty headers to crack! The engine needs to come out to remove them, which would be a bad day.
