Harold and Gordy, Thanks for the info on the tailpipes. We haven't decided which way to go yet. If we could duplicate the shape of the flattened pipes, that's the way I'd go without extensions. We'll check with a local muffler guy who has a good reputation and see if he can do it.

Here's how our system looks so far. I hope the pictures post upright. There is about 3/8" clearance on each side of the tailpipes when centered in the opening.

Tomorrow, the front fenders are going to be mounted. We're done under the hood. Notice the safety chain on the driver's side in case of motor mount failure.

The hood-mounted Ram Air pan needed some mods to fit the Tripower pan, but that's just about done. As soon as we have that, we'll cut the hood brace to fit the pan--nervous. .
