Exhaust modifications:

Below are pictures of the old 1.75" exhaust next to the new 2.5" SS Techtonics piece.  It will be necessary to lower the left hand side of the rear axle a few inches to install the 2.5" pipe.  It looks like I will have to remove the fuel tank heat shield in order to provide clearance as well.

Below are some pictures of a used AAZ downpipe and the 2.25" stainless J bend that will go into making a new 2.25" downpipe.

Here are a few under-car shots of the current downpipe.  I will take more pictures once I have removed it.  You can see the 3-bolt flange welded on that connects to the 8V centre pipe above.

Finally, here are some shots of the 2.25" extension that I used to replace the rear muffler.  I used threaded rod and double-nuts and washers through the stock muffler hangers.

Here are more pictures of the old downpipe and centrepipe removed from the car:

Here are some pictures of the new downpipe installed.  I'll take a few shots of it off the car as well.

Here are some pictures of the TT 2.5" stainless centrepipe in situ:  (it really is a beautiful piece of work)

Update: May 5th '03 Here are some shots of the downpipe, 2.25->2.5 centrepipe adapter and dual clamp:

Here's what it looks like bolted together and hanging under the car:

Here are some shots of the muffler, out of the box, with hangers welded on, and slung under the car:

Here are some muffler shots of the muffler with 22 degree bends as tailpipes:
