the muffler itself I agree looks very nice. The chrome or stainless is very shiny and looks good it its own right. Just wanted to clear up if it was a "look" or all aftermarket would look like that. As nice as the shine is on the muffler I do think it hangs a little too low and as you and I both mentioned it would and does tend to hit bottom on occasions. I guess its up to persoanl prefernce for "the look" As for me I would try to do something like you said as far as using the bent piece or having a new one put on b/c I like just seeing the tip instead of alot of the muffler. I have seen too many imports w/ that look thats why i would tend to lean away from that setup. I want to keep my ride looking American/Euro as much as possible w/out any import influences.

PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.
