yeah well it wasn't done in that picture either. I planned to notch the rear lower spoiler more and tuck the muffler up. That was just trying to get it in there and mounted it had plenty of room to go up more but it had no notches for the tips at that time. Also wanted to cut and extend the tips out more to the sides with the quad tips.

here ya go still wasn't done in these pics but tucked more, and tips extended out. Just needed to modify the inlet pipe some to rotate the muffler up then the tips back down. The muffler would go up plenty more the exit pipes just needed more modification. It was a learning process since never done before to my knowledge.

The fuel evap is pretty far back from where the exhaust ends. I've been running it for a week with no problems. It doesn't leak fumes unless the car is shut off, and even then it's very little.
my bad I thought it was complete interested to see how it sounds too bad there isn't a kit sold like that I have a welder but not the time to do something like that now days.

It's surprisingly not that hard. Once you unscrew the evap (you don't need to undo the hoses either BTW) and brackets that hold it up, there are a lot of screw holes to work with up there. We found an L-shaped metal piece at Home Depot, cut one end off to make it shorter and then drilled a hole in it line it up with the screw hole. That takes care of one end. For the other, we drilled a small hole in the bottom of the bumper and used a zip tie to give extra security. Just the one screw hole was probably good enough though.

Then you also have to extend 2 of the hoses by around 6 inches. That's it.

DUDE! I'm sooooo glad you're in Tampa! I can actually hear this in person!

I was actually considering something VERY similar (only exiting on the same side) but didn't want to invest a bunch of time and money into an experimental exhaust. But if I like the way yours sounds, I can feel confidant about spending the $$$

Yeah I had this in the works for months. But when I got ART pipes my plan accelerated because the rasp with the oem exhaust was more than I could handle.

Very nice, are you putting mufflers at the end?

mtrapuzz is my friend who's doing the welds

Now the main issue is to get the bumper cut-out on the right side to match the left. We can't really go further until this is completed. I'll try to get that tomorrow, hopefully. Once that is done, we should be able to finish up finally.

As for mufflers in the back, I probably won't add any. There's probably not enough room on the right side for an oval-style muffler unless we put it a little further back. I could put a longer cylinder type muffler however, but it already sounds so good that I don't really want to change it. The only thing that might make me consider it is if the drone doesn't go away completely, then I would consider it.

... I'm baffled by the fact no one has asked....

Is this car going to be on boost?

Because if your answer is no... You are SERIOUSLY going to hurt the powerband.

True dual 3 inch???? WOAH!

I may go boost down the road. It's NA right now though.

It's not 3 inch all the way through. It transitions from 2.5 to 3 after the X-pipe, just like the Motordyne TDX exhausts do. It definitely does not hurt power I felt a very noticeable improvement from the OEM 2.5 inch single exhaust while using the same ART pipes.

At the Y-pipe it transitions from 2.25 to 2.5.
