Just left the shop. The width of the pipes are just too wide and will touch the plastic sidewalls and heat shield. No room on either side of the pipes to squeeze in. It can be done if they shorten the exit pipes and weld on smaller tips the last few inches. However, this would involve tig welding and a special order for the same material used by Dinan (high quality). But even if he had the material he doesn't have the equipment to tig weld. Called a couple of other local seattle shops and they all told me the same thing..."no muffler shops have that nor do it."

You also cannot just cut the couple inches of exit pipe off because then the exhaust would be exiting under the vehicle and not close enough to the exit. Not a wise choice nor would did they endorse doing that for safety reasons.

Sorry gang, was hopeful for a better result and video clip to share. The only clip I have is of my tears...
