Re: Project: Clean the Green Jimmy

don't want to risk making these useless,
muffler shop said rebending should work,but I don't want stairs I want 90s lol
ordered Walker duals @2.25 for SB400

http://www.walkerexhaust.com

manifolds to muffs, 3 pipes,says works 2X4 or 4X4

hope they can they get short enough to get in front of the wheels
seems i can go check
