This is exactly what I would like to see. If you have a tip for making the job easier for the next guy/gal, you're more than welcomed to make a post. Although it's too late for me, tips like these will make the job quicker and easier for those who are going to do it.

Hey NG
Your How-to was perfect.Everything went down without a hitch.Well except for the fact the first spring compressor I bought from Harbour Freight stripped so I had to get another one to put the last Goldline on but everything else was like butter..

I'm gonna give her a bath and take some pictures to post later today..

Thanks again.I am so faux king happy with the look..Next step a new muffler and tip..
