I would give you the Ti right now to do it...but i don't think it would be cost effective to ship.

Im sure it would eat up all the margin for "cheap" with shipping involved, but I thought I would throw that out there anyways.

I don't have any more Ti pipe, but if you are in Fort Worth, I can hook you up with the welder I used.

I had this mod done yesterday you can tell the difference on tickover and under acceleration. I have not had a chance to go wot yet as traffic was heavy on the way home and it was very wet so the wheels were spinning up, hope to get it out this week for another blast.

Anyone tried this mod lately. I'm thinking about doing it soon.

What type of aftermarket exhaust do you have? I already have the bypass mod done, but I want something louder...maybe we can work something out?

A plasma cutter would probably work best. I dont have one so I will probably use a die grinder. I think some have said you can use a drill and a hole saw too, not sure how well that would work though. A welding buddy of mine said you want to make the hole exactly the same dia as the pipe so its a very tight fit, or as close to exact as you can get it. I bought the ti piping and tig wire, going to be getting it done this winter.
