Picked up the system from Tim this morning for less money because he was missing the tailpipe. Starla label over Walker. Over the axle which I normally would not bother with but that does mean it doesn't have the flattened section under the axle. Complete with all hardware and hangers. Good deal!

Cut everything off this afternoon and was going to keep the cat and its rear pipe but the end of the pipe was getting thin from rust so I cut the cat bolts and pulled both off. The rear flange of the cat was too much of a mess to think I could reuse it anyway so I either have to get a cat delete pipe made up with a front flange or plan two would be to get a later cat with the pipe attached. They are going for just over $100.

The head pipe is near perfect with solid brackets, preheat fittings and plenty 'O meat on the flange.

Since i have to pick up a tailpipe too should I stick with the S shaped pipe or go with the L shaped one that vendors like E Euro and FCP are offering?
