Sidepipes and old exhaust system
This is getting way ahead of myself (I have a lot more to do before I worry about sidepipes) but I can't help bust ask. What did yo do about the old exhaust "holes' (the cutouts in the rear where your exhaust used to exit) when you went to sidepipes. Galss over them? Did a search but couldn't find any good pictures.
Just curious....

Re: Sidepipes and old exhaust system (Monkeywrench)
The holes are supposed to be glassed over. The seam should be straight, i.e. not curving around one side of the cutout but rather 1/2 of each hole should be filled...
The aftermarket ones do it wrong by filling from one side only...
