I think it would make me feel a little better. I know I'm probably being picky (I usually am) Really I haven't ever seen one and wouldn't really know if I was getting the real SHOypipe so I guess I was making sure of that as well Thanks for the help Keep posting your opinions or thoughts Later FYI:Its Stainless Steel.

Exhaust shop, or a dremmel...etc Some of them are hard to reach, would a Exhaust shop have better tools to smooth it out? Justin 1998 Black SVT jcboeckl@unity.ncsu.edu

If you ask them they'll look at you like your nuts or something. If you want it done then you'll have to do it yourself. Just be careful about taking to much of the weld off with a dremel. If its welded inside and outside then taking off the inside won't hurt a thing. But if its inside welded only, then you'll have to be careful not to remove to much weld or you'll weaken the joint. I can't see those guys just welding only the inside so you shouldn't have any problems cleaning it up your self. Just do it. Regards, Dave

I believe seeing shorter bends like that so I wouldnt worry. (nothing a exhaust shop cant solve) The U clamps suck though... i ditched mine and bought some band clamps from JC Whitney (On-line) I did have a wrong size clamp behind the cat and ended up welding it in though.

I'd suggest just trying to file those things down yourself, as an exhaust shop probably could give a crap less. So, you're probably going to do a better job. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it! 2000 Silver SVT #1602 Check it out in the registry! Mi Coche

The clamps will leak. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
