How did we stick the exhaust on there? Our friend gravity helped. We'd like to eventually upgrade the exhaust, but for now we're retaining the stock setup.

Before joining the engine to the transmission, we installed our resurfaced flywheel plus a new Spec clutch. Their Stage 1 unit seemed like a perfect replacement for our worn-out stock one, and installation was simple. Our ring gear perfectly fit the new clutch, and Spec even provided an alignment tool.
