Raised the tail pipes a little, as best as I could with the existing hangers. Bought two new rubber hangers today. Plan to put the new hangers in the front lowering the front about 3/4", then put the shorter Magnaflow hangers in the rear, which will raise the tips some more. That should get it level and as close to the body as you want a hot pipe.

Also plan to cut off about 2.5 - 3" of the tail pipes. I want it to have more of a "tucked in" look. That would be more factory looking, and no so "look at me" sticking out.







Thinking of cutting it off, baloney slice style, right where that water drip mark is on the drivers side pipe below.

Yeah, my jack is old, and has started leaking out the pump piston seal. It has served me many years, but it might be time for a new one.
