Yeah, never seen a V8 with a single exit. This exhaust setup will be a restriction in power for sure. Weight savings would be minimal in comparison with power loss.
Thanks for all the comments People ! Much appreciated
More updates in a couple days I'm sure just been out of town !

Hey Lee, I should have my rear diff mounted shortly just waiting on some parts to come back in. depending on what axles you want to use (i am using the ford axles with rebroached hubs) which to be honest i dont recomend and wont do again as DSS did not broach them right and they were extreamly tight and took a couple hours each to get the axles to fit without binding completely half way through. Ill probably make some custom shafts later on and install stock hubs again with s2000 outers and custome axle shafts. I should hopefully have some pics of it mounted in a week or so on v8s2000.com build is coming along nicely
Thanks for the update !! Dss is great but they are currently in the middle of a move so it took almost a month for my driveshaft !

I will be stock for a while ...... looking into Puddy mod stage 2 3.73 set up .... with dss upgraded stock style axles ...
easiest without relocating anything or changing hubs bearings abs function and my new driveshaft...and I can do it in stages, get the diff first then save for axles !
how about you ??
