Finally an exhaust solution for the ST to match up to the SSI.
Danks have made a version of their header style sports muffler with flanges to mate up to SSI.
Sadly the twin outlets are way too low so had to cut them off and get them welded in the correct spot.
David from Classic Road and Track nailed it again. Now for ceramic coating and then good to go.
I am off to Canada for 8 weeks otherwise this baby would be on the road in a week or so but I guess after 7 years a few more weeks is not going to matter.

@Boyer73RS, I"m new to this thread. Patience, perserverance and a wonderful car, congrats! We need video, can't wait for you to post a link. Bravo!
I see you tape the headlights in the last photo.
Is the light popping out? Mine are, actually both rubber seals started to work loose and both H4s popped loose.
I was thinking to use a alloy bracket to hold the tops in,but that requires drilling a small hole in the fender.
Do you or anyone know a better way?
The small tab in the headlight bucket doesn’t seem to be enough there for the light ring to stay in place.

You may have the dreaded thick headlight seals.

Here you go Darren ete el finally on the road for the first time today, what a journey.
Had it's first paint detail ever last week and added some clear film in the vulnerable areas.
I am biased but it looks sensational right now.
Runs very strong too, although didn't drive too far or too hard (tacho wasn't working) so looking forward to ironing out a couple of small bugs
and some more longer drives next week.
I would say it felt the quickest pre 1974 911 I have driven with the exception of Jeff Smith's 1973 red rocket, which has no peer.
You tube video link if your interested.
