looks good . the shaft now has a nicer bend for less drag but make sure you leave atleast 1/4 to 3/8th inch gap between the props drive dog and the rear of strut, the flex shaft compresses at rpms under load and it will bind up if the gap is too small. also with the wrap to center manifold / pipe combo, try for 13 inches from the exhaust manifold face to the weld join in middle of pipe, use a piece of wire and bend it to the same shape as pipe manifold to pipe , should look like a question mark in shape.
