Where's the audio clip!!!?!??!????
That's not one area I'd feel comfortable being weakened - I can't remember exactly the details since this is like 12+yrs ago, but from what I recall the original cars either didn't have a rear cross brace or a really dinky one and ended up cracking.

You should be reported for CARPORN!
And commended at the same time.

That is going to be seriously LOUD, need audio!
ya seriously loud. likely annoying amounts of loud. I spoke w my builder about that when we started the exhaust. Thats one of the reasons we had to drop the x brace. There is now enough room that we could but a muffler under the rear clam where the current female exhaust tip extension lays. The theory is that you could unbolt the v--band clamp to the female tip and place the muffler in that space. the question is whether or not the muffler could be insulated enough to not burn the clam....
My car has a similarly routed exhaust with a small section close to the pipes (within a half inch of the upper clam). Initially there was paint discoloration on the bottom side using "gold" heat reflective film. Up graded to the corrugated/dimpled fiberglass backed aluminum heat shield. End of problem. I did duct some cool air into the area to assist at the bottom of the glass and the mufflers are open to the air via a cut-out in the clam.
