Tim, whenever a woman complains of insufficient length,
You jump to defence by blaming it on her butt which is fat and obstructing and taking up some otherwise useful inches.
That usually ends the discussion....OR start a new one...

So say it at your own risk

Man, I would NEVER, EVER go down that path! I may not be the brightest bulb in the marquee, but I'm not stupid!

Okay guys I finally did it! Thanks to a fellow rennlister I found a PSE for more than double what I paid for my MKII, but hell, I had to do it!

I love the MKII and who ever though of this is a freakin genius! So as I promised Arnie who I bought my stock cans from I will be selling them to another rennlister for the same amount as I paid for everything. So if anyone is interested in shortcutting the system let me know.

I also have an extra mandrel bent bypass pipe that I got just in case from the shop. So I would be willing to sell that also.

If anyone needs either one let me know. If I don't really get a response I am going to try my luck on eBay or something so let me know. I will also post pics of when it was being modded.

By the way, Robin Sun, the creator of the RSR exhaust for carnewal is the person who did the mod for me and he did one hell of an amazing job. It was welded with a TIG welder and a he cut a pretty nice size hole with a plasma cutter. (With all do respect to the modding master FisterD)


Oh yeah! I almost forgot, if you live in the LA area you can come hear it at anytime. It's on my car right now and it sounds pretty good! (It sounds amazing for the money, I'll tell you that much!)

Wow! Those are good quality welds, very clean.

I did mine today, but it was too late when I got them home, past 8pm.
Will have to wait till tomorrow to take some pics and install them on the car, I can't wait!

Long story, I started the day going places to several welders, all 3 places quoted me +/- $200.
WTF??? Is it where I live?? It's not even a city here! So I ended up going back to the guy who originally 'tried to rip me off'.
He's a nice guy btw, with a poor memory, so I asked..."so how much are you charging me? $120?" (He quoted me $158 previously)
He goes, "Well, that's the most I'd charge you...could be less". (I was like, "Dang! I should have asked $100 if I knew!")

So anyway, he was busy all day, and only started on them when he closed shop.
I was there waiting and watching him, he took a whole 2 hours. Finished product is "OK", nothing like Darin's.
I told him, and I asked him to use stainless steel to weld, he said "Yes, it's (*something) alloy".
The weld doesn't look like stainless to me...but I dunno...he probably doesn't have stainless??
Or maybe it was? Anyway, it's all done and over.

Shay2N10, I'd like to be second in line behind 911pirate, if you're still looking to unload the MkII modded mufflers. Also located in L.A. so it'd be a quick and painless transaction. And if the mufflers do go, I may be interested in the bent pipe to mod my own.

Not necessarily, you want to have it done right.

So you can shop around for a muffler place that has SS stock pipe, and can weld SS and do this mod correctly. Or you can find a muffler place that can do the SS welding and you buy the SS pipe. Or you can get in contact with Darin (FisterD) so that he can mod your existing mufflers. All you need to do is remove them, get them over to Darin (Knightson out by Oakley and Brentwood)), pick them back up, and install them. They are easy to remove and install (see other posts in this thread). Let me know how I can help out.
