            Here are a couple photos from CATuned regarding the last touches on the exhaust.

                Is that rear shorty bumper welded up at the seams?

                  Negative, this bumper is from you actually.

                  Assuming it would mount appropriately, welding it and having it smooth would look kinda slick.

                      ayyyyy I remember meeting with your rad parents with the RV in the deep slums of Long Beach.

                      If you do weld up the bumper pieces, you may have one of the slickest bumpers on earth. There is only one other guy who I've seen it done to and it is the absolute boobs.

                      How tight is that rear muffler mounted? 2002 mufflers like to move around a bit, but with so little clearance in the rear, I hope you have a nice tight solution for that muffler.

                        Not sure on exact clearance, but it is a slim margin. I don't think it'll be an issue, remember I have no rear muffler, so no excessive weight out back to cause heavy movement. That and they did a great job welding mounting points and vibration dampers into the system so it should hold firm on start up and hard cornering. All theoretical until Saturday however.
