John, its looking great. On one of the pictures, it looks like the fender above the wheel well doesn't line up with the adjacent back edge on the 968? Is there any way to route the exhaust so it comes out straight rather than an angle?

Yes you can put 90 degree bends in the exhaust to have it come out straight....personally I love it at the angle. Its different and just looks plan mean at night with all the crome glowing from underneath the car(the car behind me headlights light up the polished pipes).
So you can make it come out straight but, who wants to add more backpressure by putting that kind of bend in the pipe.....besides I love it just the way it is.
Here are some crappy night shots I apologize for the quality. Hopefully I will get some video up soon. The exhaust system simply sounds amazing and I guess the flowmaster muffler before with the 3inch system was choaking up my exhaust cause I shoot out flames at will now. Before I would have to force it with load and, now I just drive around normal and you will see one shoot out. Im not running that rich since I re tuned it I guess its just a by product of the system.

Hehe the exhaust really look mean in the nightly rear shot.
I'm interested in the sound since I'm going to use the same muffler. It's supposed to be pretty quiet (which to me is a bad thing), how does it compare to your old 3" with the Flowmaster?
Same db level but darker?

Car looks great ! I really like the 968 rear with the 951 front.
What was the weight diff. ? The reason I ask is it looks like the rear ride height
is a little elevated.
