Boy-yo-boy, I don't like the exhaust clamp bolt hanging down from the exhaust pipes like that! It looks really nicely done, but take it from me, they will catch on the darnedest things and cause all kinds of headaches (ask me how I know!!) Everything from driving up on a U-haul car hauler to speed bumps, to driving up onto a hydraulic lift for wheel alignment (that one really got mine) to dead possums on the road!

In my case, I have some repair work on my X pipe to do as result. So, I highly suggest you rotate those clamp bolt sections to the side, if possible. Otherwise it is a problem waiting to happen. Trust me!

Very fine work, Cliff. You can come over and clean my engine bay anytime!!
