Thanks...

Well, as mentioned... here's the three things I quickly sketched up. It takes a bit of imagination, but this is the idea I have...

Just to add in, I forgot to explain it a bit... in Image 1, it will be connected from the Pacesetter Headers, up to the flex section as it would normally be - floating. After that, from the bend onward it's hard mounted. The profile you see from the side in Image 2 is a little too tall, it will be a little less taller than what is drawn. That last section with the four pipes, I'm going to cut and weld the pieces accordingly. The rear hard mount will have the tips (also cut and welded) mounted to it. Once it's all smooth and good to go, where I'm happy with the fit and shape, it'll be sent to be chromed. The side skirt will have a cut out to fit the tips, and they will wrap up slightly (5-10 degrees), and protrude 1/2 an inch at the front, and curve out to 1 1/2 inches by the time its at the rear. The Chrome strip in Image three is both a "rock guard" and a bit of flare, intentionally bringing attention to the exhaust tips. At the same time, it will overhang the tips (stick out further) to limit how much exhaust will come up onto the body, and direct it back and down across the wheel - much like how it comes out right now.

The initial idea was to try and come up with a design that would keep all four exuast tips connected right up to the collector and the header, the idea being each cylinder would have it's own pipe front to back. BUT, that was wanting too much. No room in the tunnel for 4 glasspacks, 4 Cat's, 4 resonators... if you're catchin what I'm pitchin. Maybe on a 440 sitting inside a 74 Duster, but definately not on an N-Body.
