Well... It's done. I didn't even bother to do a DIY though. About 30 minutes into the project I realized that if you need a DIY for this, then you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself.

It took a long time and a lot of adjusting to get the tips to line up right. I ended up having to cut the hangers off, straighten them out, rebend them, and weld them back on. I also ended up buying some 2.5" ID couplers to make it easier to weld it to the existing piping. I would suggest using couplers to anyone that attempts this. It makes it non-critical that your cuts line up nicely. It's easier said than done...

She sounds like a beast. I'm totally happy with the new growl.
