Are the tips welded on the catback? Even so you could always cut some out behind each tip and reweld it....so just shorten the pipe running to the tip.

I had just put up a few new pics of mine over in the appearance section.

A-EZ, That bridge behind your good looking car is strikingly similar to our new Cooper River Bridge aka The Ravenel Bridge here in Charleston,SC. So much so it made me look to see where your from.

My wife needed a new car, so we traded it in on her Hemi Grand Cherokee. I was going to try to hold off for a few years and look for a used C6, but that plan just wouldn't work. I looked for another 'vert for a few months, but couldn't find the right car. While looking, I ran across the SS I bought last month. Not a 'vert, but I'm still looking...
