That looks great!  How much lift and what size tire?

Do you have the flange to come off of the turbo?

I'm sure you know deeprecon1 but I will say it anyways. definitely use a braided type flex coupler somewhere on the exhaust (closer to the engine than the tail) for vibration and harmonic reasons

mine has a 6" 'er and I think its too short, I'm going to a 10-12" 'er
