the downpipe has a 1 foot flex section in it just incase i scrape.
all new tabs welded on the chassis and bolted up and finished with VHT 1500 degree flat black.

looks good. Which muffler is that? Also, can you open the cutout with the car on the ground?

the car has to be raised a bit to get at the plate.
the hoist makes quick work of that though:evil2:
as far as the electric cutout goes, everyone i talked to about them steered me away, leaking over time was the main complaint.

you need to buy a good one that has a thicker plate, there not all made the same. a good quality one wont leak. (electric cutout)

I second the muffler request.

won't get a second look from cops, but it will perform great...

get a good electric (or cable operated) cutout as well, since you won't want to have to mess with it until it's cool, and that's just not convenient...

i think thats what i like the most about that muffler;) low key..
i'm not too worried about the cut-out, it will probably only come off a few times a year, it wasn't worth the extra money for the electric one, in my case anyways.
