Bobgv and guys, just installed the Rush 1.75s......DAMN! they are 100x's better than the OEM pipes. Now, won't lie it was a true pain in the royal *** getting the old ones off. But with brute force and a hammer I was able to get them off. The new Rush pipes slipped right on. Had a bit of an issue with the clamps but once the clamps went on I didn't tighten them down until I got support bar in place and tighten it down fairly well. Then tightened the clamps down put the shields back on and started her up. DAMN! these are only the 1.75 and went with those after Bobgv's post about being safe side. They sound badass. Thanks again for everyones help here.....outstanding
