Toyanvil, In the last PIC I see a muffler mounted just in front of the axle..... that is the way I did my Commodore Blue V6. I found one that has two outlets making the dual tail pipes easy.

You are right, I don't know what I was thing. It is 52"
To be truthful, I've been there four times and never had a problem. The problem came up 7500 miles later. I imagine that 90+% of their customers put less than a thousand miles on their (competition) cars, so are totally satisfied. If a bearing putzes out at 500 miles they say, "Hey - its a competition car, what do you expect?"

Geez, I get so jealous of your workmanship. I wish I had that talent. My youngest son does, but I sure don't. Every once in a while I turn out a part that looks really good, but it seems it never works right, so it gets tossed out, or modified to make it work properly and look ugly.

That's funny Bill I have always admired your work and wished I could do it. My stuff starts out ugly until I know it works, then I work on making it look good. I helped a friend part out an Alpine last weekend, and I was able to cut out a piece of the firewall with the brake and steering holes. I plan on using it to mock-up the Toyota Prius brake master cylinder.

Really? I can't think of anything I did that you have not done. Maybe made my "own" brake rotors, but I suspect you are too smart to do that.
I tell people that I walk a fine intellectual line with my projects. Smart enough to do it and dumb enough to try. I suspect that sometimes you simply are not dumb enough.
