Update 2

The idea of the internal baffles bothered me, so I removed them and added shorty glass packs following the cats. Good thing I did! The damn things had dislodged and were eating through the cat matrix (I should've seen that one coming. Oh well, ya live and ya learn).

Interesting side note - the heat wrap works. I had a bit of trouble lining up the pipes perfectly when I installed the glass packs so I left it and figured I would straighten out another day. The top 1" or so of the passengers side muffler overlapped the bottom of the bumper with about an inch between the two. Well, that was close enough that it melted the bumper! The melting point of fiberglass is 2050 deg F so, like I said, the heat wrap is clearly working lol. This gives me a good excuse to now make the "aero mods" to the rear bumper I've been scheming for a while now.
