Got the rest of the exhaust on.
The welds on this thing are impressive


Still need to do some tweaking and get this hanger to fit better. May have to just bend it slightly, Also picked up some new hangers .

If it's a newer 034 system then yes

Not sure about the downpipe, if it is or not. That came directly from 034.
But yes the rest of the exhaust came from Hank and it's really really nice.

Well, I mean, the welds came from Hanks shop anyways.

The Jedi in training is getting pretty darn good. Colin welded over a mile of TIG stainless last year, so he is fairly legit
We do the welding, but the Jigs are still 034s. Aka, the fitment is not our deal. regardless, we modify jigs when we see excessive issue. I'd like to know more about that front hanger if you can. Can't be having that. It almost looks like something happened in shipping. If you can investigate for me, that would be great.

Hank, I'm really happy with it. I think the hanger will just need to heated up and persuaded into place. I will take a few shots and post them in a bit.
*edit* here are a few shots of the bracket.


And here is where the downpipe hits the trans mount bracket. Not sure if I can do anything about that but the good news is, it's not hitting the body, so the vibration stays with the engine and I don't get any in the car.

Also some weld porn for anyone interested.


And the ground clearance is pretty good.
had to replace one shot hanger.



The other bonus to this system, I had the car on the lift already, I think I had it in within 20 minutes of being off the fedex truck. Its just super easy to install.
Guess I'm used to b5's

Spent all day doing a major cleaning on the shop and got the coupe in the "on deck" position ready to go on the lift. As soon as I get my engine parts back :/
