Crios.........U R DA MAN!!!!! Just did the Mod on my 2000 S and I love the sound.

For all of you that have the welded on tips, don't let it stop you.

I just got the longest 1/2" bit Sears had it stock and bored straightback through the pipe. I put the second hole about 1 1/2" from the first one. The placing is not too critical but you should allow enough room between the two holes to prevent compromising the structural rigidity of the pipe. If anyone is considering this Mod, I would definately go for it. It does help to put penetrating oil on the drill dit. This helps the bit cut through the metal smoother. Also, don't forget to put some duct tape around the outside edge of your tips to prevent them being scratched by the side of the drill bit. Good luck and............. Drill Baby Drill!!!!!!!!!!
