I know it's just a catback, but some people might like it. I just want a place to put the pictures to send them to him and figured why not share at the same time? Well, a catback normally takes... what? 20, 30 mins? Well the Z isn't just hard to work on under the cramped hood, the damn thing took 3 and a half hours due to the difficult true duals cats not ligning up with the pieces! We had to pry them apart in their mounting bolts (not hangers, but there was some play if you pushed really hard) while putting the bolts through. It was such a PITA. Anyway, this is the pictures section so enough talking:

What sits high? If the exhaust, it can't afford to scrapeon hills/bumps, if the car...... That car is on jack stands in every picture. The wheels aren't even touching lol. Yeah it looks big, but they look better in person, and sound SOOO MUCH BETTER!

I was looking at the third to last, I didn't notice the jack stands in that one. I thought it was the final look. Got a pic of it on the ground?

the video. We're going to take more pics of the car sometime soon (you've probably seen my threads filled with pics with these guys (300Zx Stang GT 240SX and my Rx-7))

you mean like, all 3 of us idling, then one throttle blip, then the next guy does one, then the next, then the first guy holds at 3 or 4k for a few secs, then the next guy thwen the next, then the first guy goes to redline and so on, to show how our cars differ in sound?
