Okay I'll stop with the torture already, and post up my down pipe pics.
The turbine outlet is a 3.5" outlet, but since I want to run the exhaust OVER the cross member, I had to step it down to a 3"




There is a small pocket right under the passenger side mount that is about 3.5" in diameter. This is where I ran my exhaust though. It was TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT fitting it, and its close to stuff, but everything will be wrapped, so I don't think it'll cause any problems.

right after the engine is where I'm going to step up the exhaust diameter to 3.5". For now, I'm just going to run open down pipe

I'll giving it some of the finishing touches over the weekend that will make it somewhat drivable. Heres some of my final pics.
















Oh ya! I forgot... heres a video of the first start up.

So heres an update with the car... I finally got it drivable and took it out for a spin. Car miss fires like crazy! and will sputter pretty much the entire time while driving. Hard to say what it is but I think its ignition related. Possibly my plug wires. Whats funny is, if I give it a little more throttle it'll get through the missing and run smooth for a sec. I'm going to try a new set of plug wires, and also see if I can borrow a maf to try. Kind of disappointing, But I at least accomplished my goal for the weekend and got the car running.
