Oops, I lied...almost forgot i didn't finish reinforcing the bottom of the frame. j/k.... I just received a loop (full round .250" steel) that i'm going to finish the frame with. The plan is to do a small arc under the frame to complete the circle. I gave it a bunch of thought and think this will be the strongest way to complete the frame. Thanks

Your oxygen sensors need to be in the downpipes.
Unless I am just not seeing something right it looks like they are before the turbos.

hey blown, i have a total of four O2 sensors. two that were on the manifolds so i kept them in the same spot and two after the turbo on the down pipes.... I also have my wideband on the downpipe. Hopefully it works ok like it is.... because i'm tired... ha ha.... What issue can this cause? I'll change it if i must.... Thanks for the heads-up.

You do need to change it.

The sensor should also be before the point where the wastegate goes back into the exhaust but it looks like your just dumping your WG's Kentucky style..

I finally received the borla mufflers... they are the six inch round x 15 inch long.... I love the sound now. I just went on my first test drive with the front mount and the first word out of my mouth was UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE!!! OMG!! My car finally scares me! I'll post up a sound clip after i change my drawers......
