I purchased the exhaust from bigboy04 on Sunday. I didn't come fully prepared to transport it back (fully assembled), so he was nice enough to give me a bungee to secure the beast :cheers:
I first took off the stock in no time and put it aside for the scrap metal guy:cheers: then attempted to put the banks on. Everything seemed to go together very easily AT FIRST. Then I realized that the angle on the tailpipe was heading in would cause the tip to not come close to clearing the rear fender. I wd40'd the hell out of it and tried to twist it down to no avail. I then took it to a friend who has a torch and we gave it a quick heat and of course turned it no problem. Secondly, the middle hanger was about 6" from the crossbar where it was supposed to attach for some reason:teeth: Everything was perfectly aligned with the exhaust so I guess this may be a small difference between the 04-07 and the 08s?? Anyways, we just fab'd up a bracket to span the 6" and now its sturdy enough for two guys to hang on with absolutely no give.
ANYWAYS, just psyched that it's on, and I LOVE the way it sounds "misslelau
I'm looking for my camera so I can put up an exhaust sound clip:gunz:
