          What's up with the exhaust, did you run it under the rear axle? And what is that Y-collector thing there for?

              There is no Y thingy. It's just an Impala SS tail pipe. Light is playing tricks on ya. And I also don't have the exhaust finished. The Impala tail pipes just end right there. So I think the thing you think is a Y piece is just the end of the exhaust. I need to get that finished but I can't find a smooth 2-1/2" turn down.

                  Lmao, now that you mentioned it I can see it, gotta stare a little but the angle you took the pic at is really misleading.

                    Used to be, swaged 45 and 90 degree mandrel bends (as well as really nice plain stainless tips for cheap) could be had from JCWhitney's printed catalog. I bought some in 2.25" diameter a few years back, but haven't looked into their availability lately. I don't see swaged individual bends at Summit, but they've got a variety of non-swaged pieces from Dynomax if you don't mind welding them on. They want a lot for the individual bends, though, so from them it looks cheaper and easier to just get a U-bend such as PN 42322 and cut it in half and trim it however you like it.

                      I'm really going to miss those beefy, white lettered, turbine-style wheels... but I'm sure this will suit you more...

                      They fill the fender wells perfect with it lowered too!

                        I like..

                        from the one picture id want to drop the nose maybe a 1/2inch - 1inch but the other pic from back to front looks like a good stance... IDK looks good tho

                        i wouldnt recommend it on any other car but it would be bitchin if it had angled side pipes the exited right at the rear door jam/quarter secton... looks good, need new centercaps tho.

                              .... which is precisely why someone needs to make a set of those in 16" or 17"!

                              Any takers? ....... Anyone?

                                Looks pretty good, and I don't think the stance is bad at all, actually the rear would look good raised up a bit. It's probably the redneck in me, but I like RWD cars with a rake and taller, wider tires in the rear.
