heh, I'm just sitting here on the couch in boxers waiting for the Packer game.

I'll crawl under for a sec and see what I can get.

It'll be a bit, though...

Depends on your lift. May not need a dent. Plus if you make your own you can hug the engine more and wrap it with heat wrap. The way to go imo.

If you wrap it in heat wrap tho and gee goes and muds or gets in water the heat wrap will make it rust faster

Here you go. You can see where the metal has rubbed clean. I used high heat paint as a protective coating.

I'm looking into my exhaust now that I have some money, can anyone reccomend a good yet reasonably priced cat converter and muffler. From what I have read the Super 44 and the Super 40 are good mufflers. I'm looking for a low growl that's somewhat loud, noticable if someone were to hear me coming. Any opinions or reccomendations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for that, I actually had looked at that link recently. I was recommended the dynomax series by a friend, any owners or even people who know about them?

I can honestly say that I'm very pleased with my Thrush glasspack. It cost me about $20, and most auto parts stores have them in stock (you may have to ask them to look in the back).

Its loud, but not overly loud, which is my ONLY complaint. I wanted something loud, very loud, obnoxiously loud. But its really not. Its a deep growl, but has a nice rasp when you open the throttle up.
