got the exhaust put on today fellows
it took about 4 hours (would have taken less if I skipped the whole cussing yelling banging part and went straight to the "cut 2 inches off of one pipe" section)
a little tip that might be helpful to others
I took out the rear seatbelt bolts and welded a 1 inch 5/16 stud on each of them
when I reinstalled the rear seatbelts the 5/16 studs are dead perfect to mount the exhaust hangers on
