I wish I would've gone the fender exit route, but since I didn't I ended up taking it to an exhaust shop, and they ran my pipes under my tranny crossmember since there is nowhere near the clearance to squeeze it past the front driveshaft and not have issues. So now my exhaust is a low point, and I don't have a saddle tank any more. The headers were easy to install, since I had the body off, but still had to persuade one side in against the frame. The summit headers are holding up fine so far, but once I either beat up the low point on the pipes or the headers rust through, fender exit it is...
