Well, this weekend was the start of the new exhaust system. This new setup should give me much more ground clearance and look better as well. I managed to get the down-pipes, mid-pipes, and the spacing for the mufflers and exhaust tips figured out. It took some extra time to save some of the old hardware but worked well. Please disregard the rear diff. oil all over. The pinion seal was initially leaking and I haven't gotten it cleaned off of everything yet.
