That was the original plan.

I think we're pretty set on the black heat shields and gray pipes (underneeth). Just being that the black heat shield against the gray motor will look better.

So it's to black or gray the mufflers?

Can you get someone to photoshop to help you decide?

She said after looking at it some more today... definitely the original idea and like you said.

This ^ I think that would look the best. nice smooth black to offset the grey of the engine and yet have the grey pipes underneath to keep the theme going.

Only question is what will you be using for the black and grey powder coat or ceramic-coat?

[Gas Man]

it's on the exhaust so it will be ceramic coating.

Worked on drilling out the heat shields. Picked up a real nice irwin bi metal hole saw chuck & 1.25" hole saw and busted out the big boy drill.



Drilled out a piece of cardboard to help with using the center punch


The heat shield jig or backing plate


Took a few tries to get the right technique and the drill bits paid the price.


Got the first one done


the 2x4 is working well


Did the 2nd one and cleaned up the metal burrs with a flat & rat tail file. All ready for powder.


I can't wait!!!
