Congrats Erik. Great job. That thing is really shaping up. Magnaflows are awesome. I plan to use one big one on my EG33 phase 2 setup width wise 2 in 2 out.

Chris, I was originally going to go transverse also but with my trans there's really not enough room out back to do it. Do you have enough room back there because I'd really like to see it- I think it's the cool setup! My overall system is gonna be pretty wild when it's done tho. Now I just gotta get back on my feet... and I'm working on it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I haven't started that project yet, still working on Phase 1. I do know of a nice setup I'd like to do mine similar to (smaller pipes for me).

This is speed_metal_army's car:

You have to remove the heat shield at the back of the car if yours is still in place, and then it's a tight fit turned sideways. I've also seen some where the muffler hangs down just a bit below the valance but painted black it would be almost invisible.

Minor issue with the rear hubs. Should be on the ground again sometime next week. Need to assemble the dash, wire gauges and prep for the wrap. It gets wrapped on the 22nd.

What you have accomplished in a few weeks is seriously impressive. I can't wait to see it rolling again.

Did this among other stuff today. Previous repair, prob 20 years ago, had the car folded the wrong way. I thought I could live with it but that 5/8" gap at the top of the drivers door was killing me. So we cut the car in half..it's awesome now!

Got a lot done so far this week. My body guy, Brian is coming over tomorrow to smooth everything out. I made a new dash top piece on the same material as the dash top and bottom and installed that with new foam. Found what appears to be an original signature on the dash.
Had to make extensions for the front fenders as they were too short..
