When you guys rolled yours did you tap new holes in the metal, or new holes in the plastic straps and pull them up to the existing holes?

yeah thats all we used on my buddies there are two mount things on the inside of the bumper we ran some zipties thru them and to the bumper support there is a how to on srtforums

Ah I found some pics on srtforums. Zip ties look like the way to go so you don't have to drill anything permanent.

well here is how it looks

u can see the exhaust piping so i said f dat i need to raise the exhaust first

i think it looks good, and u can always spray the exhuast with some high heat black

Not bad, but I'm not a fan of the tinted tails. But the ass looks nice. You might want to look into some high temp paint like DOS says, but it's up to you, as it doesn't look that bad.

Stock exhausts like to rust like mad though, and then they look like ass.

Nice. Here's mine:

I think I need to tighten it a tad and bring it up some more. Here is a before for reference:

Here's the zip ties:

Cool, I didn't know this was so easy to do. I personally think the tips on the stock rear section are a little too small. I think it might look better if you have 4 inch tips, like with the Mopar or some other exhaust. Plus, my exhaust is stainless so as long as I keep it polished, I don't care if it's visible. I kind of want to try this now, as soon as it stops snowing and gets above freezing.

yeah yellow i would tighten it as tight as possible

Looks good. I agree on the exhaust tho. Easiest wud be to paint it.

contagious18 · Post by **contagious18** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:59 pm

ill buy some high temp paint this weeknd cus i did like the look but the exhaust still hangs too low
