    Good thinkin Wes. I usually grind the brain to headache mode before 2 hours later, jumping in the car and driving 35miles to get what I should have just mailed ordered a week ahead of time! Nice when a close by solution presents itself.

    I hear that!! I've been traipsing through every boneyard in the Bay Area and Sac. looking for a little roller that keeps my drivers window from rattling. Found a couple on ebay at, what I considered, outrageous prices. I've now spent more money in gas than I would have paid to have one shipped to my door... and of course, now they've all been sold.
    "Headache mode" in full bloom.

    Well, I sent back the exhaust tips I ordered from Summit. Several reasons combined to bring me to this decision.
    1. Mocked up, they looked smaller than I expected.
    2. Not sure why I thought I could weld stainless steel with my cheap little wire feed welder. And...
    3. The inlet diameters were different, even though all other dimensions were the same.
    I just couldn't bring myself to "settle" for the smaller look when there was going to be so much more work to getting them installed correctly.

    Back to my headache.

    You don't have to be crazy to do this...
    ... but it helps!
