This is what I came up with for my exhaust until I can get my Tri-Mil modified to fit. We put it on today and it fits perfect, the pipe comes out just below the right rear bumperette. It looks very subtle, which is what I was looking for, although I was originally hoping to have two pipes for a more "stock" look. My mechanic thinks it should work nicely and should scavenge fairly well. Anyone ever used one of these? Any thoughts? I know it's an Empi and many of you are not big fans of their products, but like I said, it's only temporary and for $70 it's no biggie, I just want to get my car on the road until I can figure out what's gonna fit and give me the best performance.

A cruise this weekend may be a little optimistic for me, he still has to do a few more "detail" things to finish up. When I went by today he was just setting the timing so I took it around the block, the exhaust sounds pretty sweet! I was blown away at how solid my car feels now that he tightened up the body to the frame, it was like driving a new car - no rattles at all! And with the new clutch plate the clutch goes in like butter, very nice and easy. With him having to tidy up a few details and me having to wash and wax and hug and kiss my little baby it doesn't look like it'll be until next week before she's completely road worthy, and with that I still have to figure out what I'm gonna do about sway bars? I have them but I'm gonna drive it first and see what we need to do? I was having a weird problem with a bit of understeer going in to corners and once in the corner switching to oversteer, he thinks we may be able to fix that with a little toe work. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you solve it?
