$58 mail ordered
Fits in stock location and you need to get a three bolt flange to use
inplace of the shipped two bolt and the stock brackets the muffler sits on
needs to be bent down a little.  A little longer strap needs to be crafted
also.  I used a muffler strap from pep boys and a 8mm stud.  I bent one end
around the stud and fastened it with a small bolt. I then took the bolted
the other end to the stock bracket with longer bolts.  It fits great and
sounds better than stock.

These are basicall "bolt on items" The rocker arms spacers need to be setup
but it is easy.

new prices have dropped to @ 100 or less and are better because ALL parts
are new not just the electronic parts.
