This work took all of 20 minutes to complete after I just walked in. Attached are some images of the front and rear resonator, resonator deleted, and then straight pipes welded in. Love it!
20 minute?

- put car on lift
- cut pipes
- remove pipes (assuming this is needed for welding access?)
- weld pipes
- install pipes
- get car off the lift

That is amazing time!
