At least it is done correct and will last for ever on the car. Plus sounds a lot better also. To me if it is worth doing it is worth doing correct... Robert

Thanks for all of the help guy's, I found a local shop that does titanium motorcycle exhaust custom/repair, but he said no problem he can do the mod to my exhaust.
I would rather have it done right than to cheap out on it and it falls apart.

Really that is the only way to do it even if you have to wait for a time to get it done. Post pic,s a sound clip of the job man. It does make a good diff,s in the car. Even if it is all stock. Robert
