Don't think you understand you keep your stock rails as well. You have 4-6 bolts on each side holding them down so you drill out one and thread the wires through. You keep the rails but lose one bolt.

Haha it's fine but do you get what I mean now? That's the cleanest and easiest way but no matter what you'll always have a hole and one less bolt.

That is a pretty swift idea. I'm doin it.

Oh jezz, that way longer than i thought. I can't get the extension off my tailpipe, but the Super44's 13 inches long so that might not be an issue...

My buddy got rear ended a week ago and the car hit the tail pipe smashing the exhaust. I just welded in a cherry bomb and a thunderbolt cat and its mean. Throaty idle but not obnoxious. You can get small pieces of 2.25 pipe from the parts store and adapters. I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap pipe flare so we could sleeve weld the pipes instead of butt welding them.

Stabilizer is a shock and won't cause wobble even if it has play in it. If your LCA's aren't right or the bushings are bad it will though
