Hey Jeff,
I really don't see how any under car exhaust other than side pipes will fit under a ERA FIA car. Especially if you use their jag based set up. Now, I have seen it done and you have to sacrifice some power to do so AND I really don't like seeing the muffler from the side. It is quite visible and rather ugly. I choose to "notch" my supports to get the side pipes a little closer to the body/ frame. The previous exhaust when done was only 2 1/2" off the ground and scraped over everything and anything. I do like Jim Holdens new car but I haven't seen how they did the exhaust. I do believe ERA has changed the chassis brackets under neath since my car to accommodate the exhaust better. I ended up making mine from 3" tubing and loback inserts in the pipes. I had to modify my headers and it took a while but the end result was a very tight fit. I did notice in your pics a shot of the drivers door. What are those new round tubing pieces in the interior? Keep up the good work.
