Got the LP bracket cut out, smoothed and painted. Done for the night, finishing up the tail lights/signals tomorrow.

Freshly cut

Have you considered removing your mufflers and keeping the rest of the pipe in wrap? I have seen it done many times and it looks badass. Might be a good way to last you til you get your new pipes.

I figured that wouldn't be too good for the EFI and the engine. I have the baffle plugs completley punched out so the sound is fine, just the look now is terrible.

I believe there is much controversey regarding the EFI and fine tuning. I have heard MANY times there is no need to tune if the exhaust or AC is modified.

Got the fender cut and mocked up now. Just need to cut the bottom so its flush with the fender struts. I absolutley love the look of the fender on so ill be sticking with that route. Heres the current progress!
