Well it's taken me several weeks, but FINALLY I got the exhaust 99% complete. All I have left is to grind down some of the less attractive welds, and do some finishing touches on the tips (they are very close, but the passenger side one sticks out a hair more so I need to tweak it). I tried to get some better pics and a video with sound but the humidity here is so ridiculous for the past couple days, my video cameras lense kept fogging up seconds after getting it in the garage. Attached some pics. Overall I'm pretty happy with it because my fab skills are not that great, so it turned out pretty good for someone like me

Took it oooot n aboooot to the gas station. Filling up on some delicious 87 
Drove pretty good. I really like the exhaust note. It's much quieter than the Talon, so that's great! And I love these Borg Warner turbos, they are super loud and sound awesome! I got to about 5psi and that's about it. Pulled pretty hard but I let off right away. So far so good! I'm super excited!

Drove it to and from work today Did pretty good besides the battery not wanting to hold a charge...
Some pics. I also tried to show that pipe that BAD954BOY asked about. It's hard to see cuz it's so dark in the pics, but you can't see it. Only way you can see it is if you sit on your butt, and really look hard under there. You can see the clamps a little, which I may rotate now so they are more out of site. But that pipe, you really can't see it.
Also some other Misc pics of the car as it sits now.

Starter has been acting kinda funny. Finally yesterday it wouldn't start at all. Quick trip to Vatozone and she's alive again
Out with the old, in with the new!
Also I got the wideband wired into Megasquirt now (MS3 pin 23). So hopefully I can set that up to start auto-tuning. So hopefully I can set that up to start auto-tuning. The AFR's have been all over the place which probably didn't help with the smokey-ness. Hopefully they start to come inline a little better now.
