I measured about 39 inches if my memory serves me correctly. The left side doesn't need that much lift, but the right side does if you want to avoid cutting the currently-installed pipe.

Yep that's it --- is there some reason why you want to save the stock pipes?? You won't need to go nearly as high if you just cut the old pipes. One slice in each pipe will do it.

Pack Rat. I save almost everything but money. I just think someone might want it back stock when I decide to sell it. Thanks for the help.
