awesome pics. The yellow looks great and the background is very cool!
You need to press down on the driver side tips, or bench the passenger side. Your headers probably threw the catback off a bit, I can adjust mine about an inch just with some force.

Yes sir, it is tubbed. Not a fun job but I like the outcome.
I noticed that. I thought it was lined up when we installed but my cockeyed friend may have been holding when I was torquing it down.
I would like to lower the car a bit more but my driveway slopes down and the center will drag if the car was too low. I guess I need a new house.

What are all the specifics on the wheels and tires? I'm running the same rear-on-front setup as you with a 285/35 Nitto RII, yours look maybe like 275? They seem to be stretched out over the wheel a little more than mine.
Are you using any spacers on the rear wheel?
Looks sweet!

Thanks Guys. I do love this car.
The wheels are 01 Alcoa 18x10.5 (widened to 12") the Tires are BFG KDW2
I am not running a spacer in the rear. I got around that by clearancing the apper A-arm. Not my first choice but after some debate I decided there was plenty of material and as long as it was feathered out I would be ok. No brakage yet so I'm gonna guess all is well.
19" wheel would be a lot better on a 12" set up IMO. No clearancing needed.
Yes the fronts are 275 and they are stretched. It's not too bad and it all depends on the angle you look at it. I had 285's and returned them. I took a chance and went with the 275 and I like the fact that the TREAD is all under the fender well.
Had to have the 18" up front because of the bigger brakes. Next mod will be C6Z brakes.

Compare this with the 295 GoodYear Supercar which is a proper 295, maybe even a wide 295:
(don't worry, the car was only like this as I was driving to get my RIIs installed!)It's amazing to see how different some tires fit based on sidewall profiles and the manufacturers claimed size... when you're geting into low profiles and close tire-2-fender gaps a small change makes a big difference.
Looking god, sir!
