I was wondering why you used the rods instead of the factory style mounting?

The Magnaflow mufflers were included in the kit and had rods already welded to them. I wanted to use those vs going with the original type.

Here's a link to the kit:

The kit came with 3 different tailpipe options but I never considered using either of the other 2 options.

Believe it or not, the repro Ames rear bumper I purchased was way
worse than the one they sold you......All the repro bumpers are crap and they
shouldn't sell them to people and claim that the quality is excellent in
their catalog because they are CRAP!

I remember you warning me to be prepared for a fitment issue after I had purchased it. So I was prepared. Too bad I didn't consult you before I bought it.
It cost me $127 to ship back.
