So far only I only have one issue, the master cylinder rear brake line is where the washer fluid tank wants to live, so I'm going to have to bend a new brake line. I need to make a to-do list.

That looks like an old school Borla from late 80's early 90's area. Had a pair on my 87 mustang GT. Loved the throaty sound and the burble.
