Only a dozen left call now 518-477-9752. will clear any exhaust puts the ball center right behind the back-up light. The stainless piece removes with 2 bolts leaving the powdercoated attaching piece out of sight up behind the bumper facia. $475+ $25 S&H. Have a couple cheaper ones available in powdercoat only,ask.

I would be very interested in seeing pictures of the assembled product and how it attaches to the "frame"

Thanks

The best solution so far. What's the difference between the stainless and powder coated design? Price difference? Safety chain hookup?

Thanks.

VERY sweet! Has anyone used this with a magnaflow? I would think the trumpet tips might be a little to big.

POWDER coat is over cold roll steel you save $100 Safety chaines of the cheap "s" hook design slip into conviently located holes. The pictures are actually of my prototype piece current production ones are nicer as they are more rounded reguarding the part imediatly benieth the ball read my other replies. Karl

If the trumpets are going to hit I would suspect they would maybe contact my two supports that come under the fasia 8 inches apart. If your trumpets are more than 7 1/2 inches wide you might have a problem. My Borla system clears just fine but the tips could be rotated downward. Maybe you could do the same. I've always had good results with Borla products so I haven't considered that someone would come out with flared tips. Karl
