Great work J...we are all following this closely!!! I was looking at the clearance on your piping from the motor to just before the CAT. It is really close to the axle c/v boot. I have a 996 motor in my Boxster and had the same problem ( close fit).
The heat from the exhaust pipe caused my c/v boot to melt. I had to wrap my pipes to help contain the added heat. Not sure if it will be an issue for you. Just a thought ! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Thanks Reebuck1!,

Yeah it is definitely tight there but I'm going coat the exhaust with VHT high temp ceramic paint and will also use header wrap in the area there near the axle boots to help prevent damage to the CV's~ Definitely don't wanna melt anything!

Also just got a few bits back from powdercoat this morning... needless to say I'm not really going conservative on this one
Thanks!
J
