Picked up some 18" extensions for the back, trimmed them down to 13" and welded them on as well along with the rear flanges.

Exhaust is "mounted" and fitting for the rear hangers

Here is the angle from the driver's side header. I don't particularly like it, but that's what I've got. It looks a little exaggerated in the picture, but as you can tell it's not great.

Rear hangers welded on

Shot from the back

And from the passenger's side (You can see the driver's side doesn't appear quite as bad from here)

And how it hangs below the body. I'm sure with a higher end set of headers, I would hope that this wouldn't be an issue. Either way, I'm at 4.5"/6" and not going to be offroading it, so I think I'll be okay.
