    Looks good. Are they split off one muffler, or did ya go for two mufflers. I am sure it sounds better either way.

    In this picture you can see that it was run through the wheel well. I really cant recall if its inside or outside the springs or not. the pipes split after the catalytic converter and run through 2 glass packs. I also just noticed in the picture my daughters chap stick laying in the gutter at the tip of the tail pipe its in the first picture also I see. I guess ill walk back out and get it.

    Yes the pipes run through the leaf springs. Is that bad? If I hit a bump will I crush a pipe? Though I think I would probably bottom out the wheel in the well first. :hmmm:

    What is this thing you speak of... "converter"?
    Is it some sort of power adder?



    J/K ;)
    I didn't think there was a Maverick left on the planet with a converter!
