That's good info on the sag. I will do the same. I just looked at your build page on your exhaust and I will probably do something similar. Do you have pics of your headers leading into the exhaust? Would be nice to see what you got going on in that area. Thanks.

Are you going to H-Pipe it behind the trans?

That trans x-member looks nice for this reason. I am planning on doing something similar to SCOTI exhaust, but not the awesomeness in the rear he did lol, I will be going under the rear x-member and U-Turn it over the axle and then dump them towards the sides right behind the rear wheels. I don't want them to be seen. I am also going to copy SCOTI on his H-Pipe idea.
EDIT: And here is the kit I bought from Amazon. It seems pretty decent stuff to me, but I am no expert. It's all individually wrapped with bubble wrap and already polished(not perfect but not bad either).
