I gave up on installing my tailpipes. They're 2.5" tails from a previous Flowmaster cat-back. I got some unknown replacement mufflers that were on the car when I bought it. They look to be stainless. Anyway, I've tried installing these damn tails with no avail. These mufflers are shorter/wider than the Flows that I had before. I bought reducers and whatnot but they look like they'll rub all over the place and are still short, they don't stick out past the rear bumper. I'm plannin on takin the car to my mechanic to see what he can do. Anyone think torchin the tails and bending them around to fit would be a problem? I've seen shops heat up andbend exhaust pipes around before. I was thinkin maybe he can weld on the reducers to the tails and clamp the other end to the muff's. I really need these tails on in order to pass NJ state inspection. Not to mention I miss the tails stickin out back.
