Default Little Axle-back install warning.

Well here's the deal.

About a year ago I had installed a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust kit. Now a year after I needed something more aggressive and decided to go with a set of Boom Tubes.I had a feeling the magnaflow catback pipes where bentslightly diferent at the end...and i was right. Was no big deal. Nothing a littlecustom work won't fix.To keep the same pipes you can either take'm to an exhaust shop to get them bentat the right angle, or like i ended up doing, youcan weldyour new axle-back to the cat-back pipes.

Yeah i know nothing outta this world but just keep in mind that if your swaping youraxleback with aftermarket catback pipes it might not end up being a 30min job.

Thankyou all for your help. I've learned so much from so many of you.

And yeah yeah yeah....no pics i know....forgot[&o]

Boomtubes here.. bolted up just fine, minor adjustment at the midpipe to center them and it was good to go

your missing the point....he went from a new CATBACK setup to the new axleback. He is not using the stock overaxle pipes.
