Well, it's been a long day. I got the exhaust system NEARLY complete. Currently, it's terminated just after the rear suspension. I just need to finish by adding a 2nd muffler near where the stock unit is located. After install the first muffler, I decided to lower the car and take it for a test spin. However, I didn't have the boost controller turned on, so the stock spring pressure was venting at 3.73 psi ... but still a great performance increase. Once I finish the exhaust this week, I will take it out again and crank up the boost a little.

Now for some pictures:
