suggestions? input? lets hear it!

I love sidepipes and would strongly encourge you to add them on....in fact, make two sets and ship one out to me. I will be eternally grateful and you will always have a place to stay in the SW USA!!

So I sawzall-ed my exhaust (true-dual) right between the CATs and the headers.

And I'm pretty much decided to do the sidepipes. But im stuck again. I'm going to use the 2 performance CATs (duh), and bend some pipe so that the pipes exit right before the wheels with a duel pipe tip. But then I have 2 unused 14" glass packs. Should i find a way to build them in? Just to be legal and all. . .

before you do the sidepipes, make sure it's legal in your state. some states require exhaust to flow behind the car(so i've heard). in TX, the pipe has to exit behind the last passenger door.
