yeah. it was me. All I did was accuire some euro bumper bars and brackets. after that, it's plug n play. The euros bolt right up to the US holes. no mods neccessary.

It WAS that way at PA. I just forgot to bring my mirrors that weekend so people could see underneath. I built it myself actually at my brother in law's Meineke muffler shop in Hightstown, NJ on rt 130. Pulled off the potato cat, cut off the flange and created a new downpipe from scratch using the flange from the existing cat.




Here are some pics the way it sits now. Take note to the bend near the fuel pump. This is neccessary to avoid a fire hazard unless you relocate the fuel pump. This was a trial run. next up, complete duals with Flowmaster HushPower II's. The hushpower II's sound better than what I have. However, I do love what I have. I just think I can still improve on it is all, especially the driver's side pipe which i wasn't happy with to begin with. Too many correction bends. but I think i got it down to a science now. It was my first attept at EVER building an exhaust from scratch and I learned a great deal doing it.

Listen to my 2.5" single pipe with split to 2 tailpipes. Flowmaster Muffler, NO CATS
I added a freeflow resonator since then to tone the volume down just a little as seen in final pic.
