That's another reason that was keeping me from doing it myself.. I didn't want to see something melt (some people have posted that same issue with the gas tank).. I show the car alot during the summer season and need to keep it perfect under there..

Hell.. I'm so obsessed with the show thing that I was out there last year with steel wool cleaning up the factory pipes after a winter driving season.. " I did get em to shine too.."

Note:

I saw the guys at the shop really lay into the pipes a few times once they were up .. Appeared to me that they succesufully "bent" or tweaked the fitment with some "brute" force.. i don't know if you can do that on the ground though..

Well the local muffler shop up the street was able to get it to work...they lifted the car and loosened the bolts and tweaked it while they tightened...it gave me some clearence and when i got home i loosened the tail pipe tip and tweaked it a bit more and tightened it down...seems to work. They also put some epoxy steel over the burn area and covered it up and if the pipe does slip back it wont melt that stuff, hard as steel...

Sounds good and i do recomend it to anyone, just be patient and really tighten them down...i coulda really used that lift, wonder if the wife will let me get on? lol.

On a side note there were too ricer kids up there waiting to get coffee cans put on there rides...they were actully pretty cool and were sincere with all of there questions. And the muffler shop didnt cost a thing, the manager is a '03 Mach 1 owner!!!

I love my magnaflow... We had to cut the hanger too in order to get a better fit. And BTW... if you didn't tack weld the pieces together, I would recomend you do that. Then, you don't ever have to worry about them moving.

I also have o/r pipes in my bassani cat-back... removing the cats... the magnaflows sound race car loud at WOT Zero rasp... just good american V8 rumble... I have vids in my sig if you have broadband
