its off the hangers in the mid section and so its just chilling till the motor goes in, why BC made it to come out that side was probably to keep their straight trough exhaust proper only thing i can think of.. i often wonder if thats why not many rock it, it def took me awhile to get use to it just doesnt look as clean but looks aggresive on the road...

im sure i could have done a 205 up front, stretch tire looks sick on the old school end though.. dont quote me but 205 in the back would cause you to do some serious fender rolling... if your doing a low offset wheel might as well do a smaller tire IMO

I like the OEM wheels better, to be honest. Better "sleeper" appeal.

IMO, the gears of the ls cable are too long. The main purpose of the h2b is to match the torquey H with a set of short gears to make it even torqyer. With that tranny its almost like defeating the purpose of using the b series tranny as opposed to the h tranny.

You know what I was thinking too? You can shave the rear bumper where the exhaustnormally comes out and cut a hole on the passenger side. That exhaust is clean
