I'm looking at my strut towers and I can see no mushrooming. Is this an Obvious deformity once it occurs? Maybe mine aren't damaged yet. Should I put on the Mini maddness or M7's before it happens, as a prevention?
Does anyone have a photo of the damaged strut tower?

Thank you all for your info. Very helpful. I especially would like to thank one gentleman who listed his upgrades to his MC, since I have a 2005 MC. I've been looking for a cooler sounding exhaust and found one that he listed. Thanks again,
Donald

Youre very welcome. I love my Megan exhaust. Aggressive-sounding without being too loud.

Hi Ricky, I want to fabricate my own clamp like you. What type of adapter nut did you use for the clamp? Is that an oil removal socket that you used for the top of the clamp? What are the specs of the parts that you used and exactly what are the components ? Please give me a call if you would be so kind so I can resolve this mushrooming issue. My number is (973)868-0692.Please respond as soon as possible. Thank you.

Ricky, when you said:
"The top piece was an old sleeve installer I had on my service truck" ,
what kind of a sleeve installer did you use and what make/model service truck was it? My strut towers have mushroomed and I would like to repair them. I appreciate your feedback in this matter. Please respond as soon as possible. Thank you.
