With #13. His way is leave #13 on.

Place the ovals next to #13 and put them where you want it.

Mark the where the back of the ovals are on #13.

Remove exhaust, cut #13 at the mark. Put back exhaust.

Temporarily spot weld the tips to where you want them making sure its straight and where you wnat them.

Remove exhaust and finish welding.

Then buy those plastic rings that go around the tips to have a nice finished rear.

man-o-man ... there's a pic in the link that has the instructions. I'd probably have them stick out another inch or two (so they line up or go slightly past the pastic ring). Or search and see many pics of 4.8s/4.6s.

I think these are it for both sides. Don't take my word for it. Double-check.

Okay ... see in the pic where the bumper meets the black plastic part (below the bumper) ... that's how far mine stick out. That's basically the same place as the top edge of the plastic ring you need to buy.

Are we about done here?
