Sorry...I was having problems with getting pictures from my phone to my laptop and had to resurrect my password. Here you go.
The diameter of the filter is greater than the distance between the exhaust and the torsion bar. I since cut the tube and was in the middle of welding it up when I ran out of wire. I also have a rub on the oil pan from the steering linkage and the idler arm ball joint nut made that gouge in the exhaust tube.
I purchased a new oil pan cause this one was glued on so hard I pretty much destroyed it when removing it. (if only they had used this silicone on the Columbia shuttle) I removed it because there were so many loose bolts on this car that I wanted to inspect and check the torque on the connecting rod nuts and main bearing caps. Everything checked out good internally.
Hopefully this will fix all the cheesy things that were done in the past.
