very nice! thanks for the pics. sure does tuck up there nicely for a 3" system.

did you buy the kit or piece it together? i dont see their hardware, just welds. what was the issue with the one tailpipe? did pypes send it to you bent wrong? as far as i know their kit & tails are made to use the off/off mufflers, not off/center like the right one in your pic. did they offer to help but you didnt have the time to wait? i'd be pretty upset if they send me a wrongly bent tailpipe!

My friend spent some time to make sure it tucked up. It won't without some effort

I bought the kit from one of their resellers, BSM Exhaust, and it came with the center exit mufflers. The tailpipe was pre-bent wrong as it would not clear the leaf spring with the center outlet muffler, hence the offset exit muffler. The right side fit like a glove. The kit had the wrong x-pipe also. BSM sent me the right one without making me send the old one back, which took up a few days. And when the tailpipe issue came up, I didn't want to tie up my friend's lift any longer (he did the whole job for free...), so I over-nighted a muffler from Jeg's to expedite the matter. I am sure either BSM or Pypes would have addressed it too, but I ran out of time. Or if he had a bender he could have shaped it to fit with the center exit muffler. He also decided to weld everything rather than use the clamps.

I am using 255/60-15 tires on the 7" honeys
