Haha! That's for sure! Just need to figure out what I'm capable of doing LOL.

So, yesterday was almost a derailing moment as well! I mocked up the driver's side, and all was well. Then came the passenger side. Even though the kit was supposed to work with the NP205, I don't think it was supposed to work with an NP205 and headers. DAMN!!! So, after I finished throwing stuff around in the garage, I called a local muffler shop and they agreed to bend something up for me. He told me that he couldn't guarantee it would fit, and I told him that's a risk I'm willing to take

This was an early mock up of the driver's side.

Back from the muffler shop...problem solved. Oh, while I was there, I got a single stick so that there weren't any joints on the driver's side. I didn't like how the kit was broken out.
