[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 735636, member: 1068"] Another big difference on this one compared to the others will be the exhaust setup – in order to get the most uptravel we possibly could up front combined with driveshaft angles and keeping the suspension geometry ideal through all of that travel, we decided to give ourselves a little extra room and remove the standard drop down and around exhaust setup from the equation. Over and back we go! These are obviously not done yet – There are some edits to the driver side header that we will make (original plan was to use stock style fuel rails, so we had to leave room for the side entry fuel line…but we moved to a flow through rear entry billet style rail, so I will make some changes to the driverside header and it will match the passenger side shaping a bit more) from there they will be cleaned up, TIG welded, jet coated, and then wrapped. Heat shielding will go between the headers and the intake, and the collectors will get V-band clamps on down to a true dual exit out the side/back of the belly like the others.
