I was bored last night so I went out to my garage and sat pondering at my Thunderbolt 2. After a few beers and sone scraped knuckles this is what I came up with.

All I had to do to get it to fit was cut the center piece out of the rear shock tower. As soon as the weather breaks here It's going out to get tested!!! :punk:

Snow what is snow? LOL It was cold here last night got down to the mid 30F and only got up to about 58F today. This is a big snow to us. This is from last year. We see snow once about every 5 or 6 years.

Ah, the shock tower is cheap enough to replace. ;)

Mike being a brand new car at the time I just couldn't bring myself to cut it:punk: but now I am over rear pipes and looking at a side pipe.

i hear what you're saying Bryan. I Chose the HPi pipe because I had it here already, plus it's like it wanted to fit there. :punk:

J.

The results were really good, quite impressive really.. I would have kept it on, but I needed to make a rear shock tower as even with cutting the one on there it was still quite tight for the pipe.

I'm going to have a go at re-designing the rear shock tower myself.
