I need more practice with the welder....So a section of the exhaust needs to be modified to clear the control arm bushing mount. I'm guessing I won't really know how exactly until i get under the car, unfortunately.

I think that's supposed to be after welding. I read BJ's thread couple weeks ago and I don't think his was changed so maybe it will fit? I'm not sure. It's still pretty close in that picture. I was thinking about running a single 3inch pipe but that was just because I thought the M3 pipes wouldn't fit. It looks like the rest will be able to fit, its just this section here that comes really close to the control arm. So I'll definitely be keeping the M3 exhaust for simplicity. I also need to do this -
"The O2 sensor mounting port interferes with the frame reinforcement behind the transmission mount. You can cut a chunk out of the brace to make the O2 sensor fit and reinforce the brace by welding it to the transmission mount with a couple of pipes"
