Well, they're in. The hardest part was creating the right diameter inlets/outlets to take the original pipes (sleeve inside or outside...that's was the quandary). I can see where the originals that are slightly offset would have been better but by shortening up the pipes and twisting the muffler bodies the 17864's work fine (twisting moves them away from the centreline of the brackets but there is enough slop to a point). The alternative would be to bend brand new custom pipes but that would be a long, iterative process. I ended up putting the 'B' side down (B for bottom I guess) and wish I'd used the 'A'. Using the B puts the muffler seam face out and visible and the originals have no seam. Not a big deal but the more cosmetically original the better. I painted them black which will probably peel off but for now, they look damned original!
