I moved the exhaust (Again) to make room for the tank set-up....worked out great, the tank is now tucked up nice and high, under the Driver's Side gully, (Where the OEM Exhaust USED to run...) plus, its skidded, just in case...plus the new stainless exhaust isn't all rusty and filling the cabin with CO, etc.

The new less restrictive exhaust makes the X so fast, I didn't even have time to notice a difference.

The tank used to be where the spare tire was...but that was too low a hanging fruit.

The new exhaust takes up way less room than the OEM one, and is tucked up higher than the stock set-up as well.

OK - A few pics....
