The music video isn't released yet. They're shootin for the end of March.

Hey guys. I've been getting PM's about the exhaust since the photos and some information is no longer linked to from this thread. I'll gather the photos and info and re-post them to this thread once I have them. Stand by.

I get a fair amount of mail from you guys asking for parts and install information because the photo links were broken from earlier in this thread. Here is what I was able to get a hold of. Hope this helps.
Here are the parts you will want to obtain:
Mufflers will look like this:

These photos aren't the best, but you'll want to hack the existing exhaust off just after the first set of resonators then weld on some extensions:

Install the 11385:

Here is another view after the 11385 has been installed. Notice the position of the existing hanger:

Routing for the 10425's will look like this when you're done:
