Well here ya go...kinda, its not quite WOT since it needs a lot of tuning but i got it tuned a little.

Need more drive-by vids.
It was done in the name of ground clearance. Plus there would need to be a crossover between the exhaust somewhere if it were true dual. Having the driver side cross under and meet the passenger side solves that.
Thanks guys, it does sound great, but is a tad on the too loud for the street side...although it started out very lean and as i tune it the exhaust note gets much less "poppy" sounding and does seem to be quieting up a bit as i increase the fuel. So we will see how it sounds once its mapped out as good as i can get it. Then I'll hand over the tuninig to Marc at EFIexpress and let him work his magic on it.
Derek, you cant really hear anything over the exhaust and that is ok because it's music to my ears, music that will eventually make me deaf if left uncontrolled. LOL

So, i was looking at some photos and found one that I never posted of what the engine bay looked like when this project started and looking at the car i realized how different it looks now. It's a night and day difference.
At the beginning...
Now...
I think its worlds better.

Still lots to do and at least ten things in the engine bay alone to clean it up more. It's actually a little grungy in there, you just cant tell in the pic...last time it was cleaned was when it got steam cleaned about three years ago.
Thanks for the Link Derek. I"m gonna hit them up for an insert to hush this beast just a little.
@PRY4SNO - just a little secret between us... I actually like some mustangs, and even have one myself. it's in my sig.

Sound is kinda quiet since i sandwiched my camera under the passenger headrest and that partially covered the mic. This is also with the driver window down all the way, right front window open 2/3 and the rear windows up all the way. It's waaaaay louder in person. I realized after making this run I should have logged it. It's so much fun to make a log and then tune while reviewing the log, saving it as a new config, then go out to the car and upload the new config and make another log :-)

Forgot to mention I ordered a Car Chemistry 3 baffle exhaust insert today that will go in the exhaust where the 3" v-band is. Its supposed to lower the DB level of the exhaust by 7 and smoothe it out by adding a little back pressure. If it's too quiet i can cut a baffle off the insert which will raise the DB lever by approximately 2. Here it is.. http://www.carchemistry.com/shop/index. ... etail&p=19
