We finally managed to get the tank prepped and mounted, along with the heat shields and hardware. (Thanks for the helpful diagrams!!!)
I've ordered the OEM style exhaust from Tom at Accurate- as they are getting all the good reviews as far as the performance and look of this exhaust (Not to mention the ease of install!).
Hopefully I'll have photos of that by next week..
I can finally- FINALLY see the light at the end of the tunnel...and it isn't a train...
