Its all good,  for mine i am going to fabricate (under the engine) 180 degree headers, feeding 2 cats (meow) exit the collectors, then cross over either side above the transaxle with the cats, post of those, will both connect together for equalization,then leaving as 4 individual sends, 2 into Gallardo mufflers (when they arrive) exiting the rear with the bypass valves also connected to the extra 2 sends (before the muffler) with a vacuum control on the bypass. and the whole mess into the final collector/combiner out the tail pipe.
maybe i should draw a picture..... ::tongue

you might have to use flexible fittings when you do hook up the exhaust,  with the engine moving from torque and the muffler static in the cage.
 I can see you have springs which will help a bit but, the contained area in general looks tight so you may experience physical or mechanical contact at the sides and in regards to the exhaust hookup something isnt going to be happy in the middle.
just an observation  :)

Thanks for the input! I was a little curious about that myself. It doesn't look like it but there is about a quarter inch of space all the way around, probably needs to be more! Plus I've just got her tacked for now, I don't even know if it will clear the body yet!  I may just leave it for now until I get my kit, but I'll remember to correct this eventually. As far as routing the exhaust I'm still not exactly sure what I'm gonna do, but I'll get her figured out! Thanks again!  :)

Looking great! Thats the nicest fiero tub/chassis I've ever seen, plenty strong enough  ::beers

Means a lot from you Butler, Thanks! But I ain't done with it yet! This muffler is just stupid huge! Having a hard enough time trying to find space for it with a 6 cyl, I can't imagine how they fit a 12 cyl in there!!!  ::tongue

Really nice frame. I'm jealous lol

Thanks Solrac,
No reason to be jealous of this thing! It literally mostly came outta the trash at work!!!   :P The only thing to be jealous of is that probably everyone on here has there body to start with including yourself and I'm still saving towards one lol! Speaking of witch yours is looking great, I've always loved the Reventon! Any idea of how long you have to go on it? Or what color your gonna paint it when it's done? Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks Autopro! Very useful thread!!!

I have finally reattached my tub and my rear engine cradle thingamajig!!! So it's kinda starting to look like something again. I am getting to the point, and have probably gone past the point where I desperately need a body so I have something to go off of. I've already been told by others that some of my frame could interfere with the body (I pray to god it doesn't) but if it does I'll just deal with it when that time comes. I still have plenty of reinforcing to do on the rear cradle and haven't totally decided what to do to attach the lower portion of the frame to the tub. At least for now I can roll this thing around the garage in one piece! Right now I'm doin my best to tuck money away for that body, hopefully by spring I'll have it!!!   ::toothy

Thanks guys! I guess I forgot to mention that they are lasered out, so the edges are a bit rough! Wish I had access to a water jet in this case!
