It's off of Harmon Rd over here in the FTW/Haslet area. He's not a motor guy, and he'll admit to it, but I've seen this guy build cars like no other. His fabrication skills are top notch.

I mainly just need to realign the driver over axle pipe to the guide clip on the mid pipe. When I put my GT500s on my car, it was a fiasco and I had to stop by a shop for and they didn't quite put the OAP back on straight, causing my driver muffler to have a nasty tilt to it

Interesting. I thought it was pretty much a straight forward deal to put them on without any complications. Any advice for putting them on?

That is a bit odd...I've heard a lot guys putting the GT 500's on and haven't had many problems at all.

It was straight forward. When Nic and I did it, we did it in his driveway by ourselves, and didn't think of dropping the PHB support brace to allow clearance to slide the hangers in. We were finally able to get the muffler on but couldn't tighten the bolts that held the hanger bracket to the frame. So I took it to an exhaust shop the next day to have them help me out since it would be easier on a lift.

Well once everything was all good to go, the guy that put the OAP back on (they decided it was easier to remove it), I guess didn't realize that there's a reasoning to the guide being there. So now my driver side muffler has a slight downward angle, and sticks out a little further than the passenger...

I apologize for the big picture and thread jack, but in this picture, you can tell the difference...

What did you guys use to break the metal tab thing? I've seen some people use a dremel, but being back by the gas tank I don't think it's the smartest idea. lol.

metal tab? what you talking about, stevie?

There is a metal tab on the muffler that attaches to the over the axle pipe you have to cut/break in order to get them loose.

Is it me or does that say 6.0 on the side? I think we have a traitor among us guys.
