I loosened the exhaust and no luck. I had to weld an extension on each side and it fit great. You were right, they are different lengths. One side needed 2" and the other 1".

Putting tires on now!

I'll find SS plugs and swap them when I do the clutch when the weather turns. I did machine them down very short.

Old cats are 9lb 12oz each. New pipes are 3lb 12oz each.

They used to include a slip fit SSextension pipe, maybe they had to cheapen them to compete with Topspeed. I assume they droped the $500 price.

As of last week, best price i was able to find on Fabspeed was $479.

I paid $179 shipped for the Topspeed set. We'll see how fitment goes...
