Well, i got the swinger hangers to work by cutting them in half and fabricating a L bracket to bolt onto the frame, something they should have sent with the package. It looks awsome, and sounds great, but still very quiet. I might get some high flow cats to make it louder.

I had to change all the hangers in some way or another, the swinger hangers i cut down and used the piece i cut off as a bracket and welded it on to the hanger...thus i now have a L bracket on the swinger hanger like it should have had in the first place. The other hanger, just a normal one that goes through a rubber mount, so i cut the old one off the exhaust system, cut the bended part off and welded it on the new hanger and.....bam.... now i got a perfect fitting hanger. I tell you, fabricating is the only way to get things perfect. But if you can't do stuff like that, this kit is probably not for you....

i finally have some pics of the new system.





It took a little over a day to install the whole system... Now remember, i have never done this before, i was the only one installing it, and i'm not even 17. The hardest part was getting the old rusted system off, and getting enough stuff to hold up the new exhaust so i could fit it. I had to break off the bolts on the clamps on the old system just to get it off, and let me tell you, sawzall's are awsome at cutting off old exhaust systems. I had fun working on it. I am thinking...or was thinking....about getting 3"tips slash cut for it, but now that i see it all together, i think the straight cut tips look better, and that it look awsome the way it is... What do you think? I don't have any tips on there now.
