looks like the front is wider than the rear but it could just be the lighting and angle. i still like it!

You can get it tucked in by an exhaust shop.

I cut off all of my exhaust after the center cat then ran 2.5" piping as far tucked up as possible to a smaller muffler which is located on the drivers side heat shield area where the OEM secondary mufflers were to an exhaust tip out the back. I'll try to find a pic.

I had mine redone before I dropped the car on coilovers so it wouldn't scrape. I ran 2 1/4 inch pipe from the manifolds back with glasspack style mufflers for max clearance. If you look under my car the chassis is lower than the exhaust. It took alot of time to get it right but in the end I'm super happy to not be dragging any exhaust pipe!

A buddy just sent these to me. This is my car a few months back right before I had it painted. This was at a drift event at an old milk factory. We were in one of the big empty buildings. That's a friends LS460 in the background. And yes, that's me in the one picture.

lol i had my whole exhaust redone/raised up and i still eat it and now that it's tucked higher, the first thing that hits is the frame. i've lost several pieces under my car such as panels and exhaust heat shields so far.. scraping frame daily, NBD.

anyways, here's an updated pic of the car:

Hi there,
I'm a guy from Lithuania, Europe and I'm a newbie posting here. But since I've bought my LS400 '98 about a year ago I was reading this forum a lot. Please see some pics of my LS' metamorphoses below (last pics were made today, after I've installed coil-overs).
