As you can see here, this shot shows the wheels/tires mounted on the car. Remember, not much weight on the car yet and I have to adjust the coil-over shocks/springs for proper final ride height.

After fitting the exhaust, I removed and now have to do some cutting for the H pipe. This exhaust system is custom made from 3″ stainless steel. It really polishes up well and will look good when completed.

After cutting the holes, the “H” pipe is fitted and tack welded. Note: all the tacks are MIG welded using SS weld wire. I’ll later TIG weld with SS weld rod.

With the Boss 9 heads and intake, a big 1050 Dominator carb; well lets say not much room left for an air cleaner. I even had a custom made air cleaner that would fit a Dominator carb, gave the maximum 2.5″ drop and will fit a 18″ K&N X-Stream filter. If you look closely, the top is a K&N 16″ X=Stream. Since 16″ is the max size, I had to have made an adaptor to allow the transition from 16″ to 18″. Even with these steps, the air cleaner still raises ~4″ about the hood.
