Heres some shots of the Exhaust all Tacked up, you can see the quad tips im going with as well as the cutouts.
Also.... for those you havent seen it yet, here is a crappy cell phone video of her starting and a little rev action to leave you hungry for more. Please keep in mind the engine bay is a mess right now just the bare minimum to start.

Nice exhaust setup I've been debating doing a quad setup myself your muffler placement makes it doable for sure.

I ran those tires before they look nice but traction wasn't the best on highway for roll ons.

I ran them for a day, and took them off immediately. One of, if not the noisiest tire I have ever had on a car. Just didnt know if the OP picked them for a reason.
