Nice!
Is the little thing before the muffler... a CAT? That has to be the smallest CAT I've ever seen. Might call it a KITTEN. :laugh:

Material Sizes.
All parts made from 304 Stainless Steel
Mounting system Stock springs bottom of chassis mount extended on each side.
From my experience a flex joint must be installed at the location shown. Without it stress cracks will start at the bottom of the collector and first elbow.
Flange thickness .500"
Outlet runner at flange diameter 1.100" ( ID)
Runner size after cone 1.500" OD
Exit diameter after collector 2.250"
Exhaust tip 2.500"
Heat sheilding has been up graded as well, more posts to follow with this information.
Heat conductivity.
If we use copper as a base of 100%
Aluminium is 84%
Steel is 14%
Stainless Steel is 8%
What this means is the more heat will flow out the exhaust tip than a similar exhaust system made from steel. I am not saying that the pipe will not get hot, but heat transfer to the engine bay will be less when the made from Stainless Steel over mild Steel.
For the X this is of a benifit.

Yes
That is a Racing Bottle Cat from Vibrant Racing. Cost $134 CND. Life span 50,000 miles. Made from Stainless Steel with a corrigated strip that is platinum plated. This type of Cat does not clog as the strip heats and conducts heat to burn away any carbon. Ceramic matrix's will not conduct heat and clog.

what were the ambient temps you were working in. Seeing the video of you makes me think you were just above freezing?

Shop Temps.
Ed, I live in Canada where winter is at times 0 degrees F or colder. My shop is insulated and heated, when I am out there I have the heat on, but I have a 12' x 10' steel corrigated door that isn't insulated. So temperature in the shop is between 40 to 50 degrees F. with very low humidity. I can sand blast steel in the winter and leave the metal open for 3 weeks and it will not rust. In the summer that same steel will be rusty in 20 minutes due to the 90% humidity.
Good mindful eye to catch that. I should have put on a pair of shorts and a Tee shirt for the video.
My suit was at the cleaners.
