    Yep. At the time I wanted everything to be crushed..I guess I got my wish and more. I just looked at the tips today. Maybe I will try and fight with them again this weekend. I do have a die grinder...may try that out..

        Sawzall can work good for that too. Slit the pipe on the inside, coax it inwards with a chisel, and then grab with pliers and twist! Or at least, that works for extracting ~3" of pipe from a muffler inlet ......

        Ah, as in angled behind the wheels? Don't see that much except in cities these days. Did Ford ever do that from the factory with dual exhaust? I know my '87 wagon had its single exhaust exiting in such a fashion ....

          I love that look. Wagons had the side exit on both sides for factory duals.

              I thought the factory duals on wagons only included the pipes with 90-degree bends way out at the back?

                  So did I 1 on each side right? Anyways, that's what I'll be doing over the summer, just have each pipe do a 90* turn and exit behind the rear wheel. Then I can use my rear window again, and not have to worry about the tips not being perfectly lined up (like they are now).
