Thanks a ton, the only problem is, that doesnt cure my problem, my pipes leading to the silencer is whats messed up, i can weld the broken tab back on, i have plenty of experience and the equipment to do so, but the chromed lead pipe and mounting flange is tweaked, and i dont think i can fix that...not without making a mess of it, because the tubing is bent, i was just wondering if all the pipes split in the same place and the rear portions are bent the same..
