Tomorrow if all goes well(read that the NSS just twists in and out for adjustment) I'll have pics and a video up.  Video will include before and after. 

Just a warning, my exhaust before was pretty py.  A previous owner had hodge podged and welded various pipes together after the cats.  The cats got clogged so I gutted them, but the only way to get the exhaust out was either drop the axle or cut it.  I cut it then welded it back together to come out the driver side just behind the door. 

During the installation of the headers and x-pipe kit I needed to use some of my straight pipe to get the driver side x-pipe just right. So, for now the exhaust exits about half way between the front and rear axle, instead of just behind the doors.  I'll be fixing that ASAP, and might get some lers.

Sorry it took so long to get those pics.  I've been trying to figure out if my tv is stuck, out of adjustment or if my transmission is toast.  It's toast.  The starter cable issue has been dealt with.  Also had a spark plug wire touching the header...fixed that by simply switching it so the end that usually goes on the distributor is on the plug.

If you look closely in 57 you can see I had to do some surgery on the pan and the connection between the header and x-pipe for clearance.

oh and it wasn't the NSS.  When flipping the arm for the shifter I inadvertently bumped the part that connects the shifter assembly into the valve body.  The shifting issue was due to the tv arm getting pushed in and the internal piece was wedged between the valve body and the piston?....so yea now I need a new transmission...
