I had my shop cut the exhaust pipe just before the y-split and weld on a ball joint and flange assembly. They also built a small tip to help direct the exhaust heat away from the diff and drive boot. And they welded on an additional hanger to support the center resonator. With the flange I can reinstall the stock system whenever necessary.
Net weight loss is 40lbs. Cost $75 including parts and labor.
Sound is really great, a real sports car sound! Fantastic in VTEC!
The flange welded to cut off and flared tail piece:
The tip installed on the ball joint:

Hahah Mike, I was going to ask you in the Ohlins shock thread how many street miles you put on the car, but looking at this now, I figure it can't be too many...
Are you doing any of the upcoming SpeedVentues events?
