That’s pretty much where mine is. Did you trim factory pipe? If not then your close to the two being even.

If you cut factory pipe drill a small hole on the bottom just inside outside lip. It will let water drain.

I didn't cut the factory pipe but the tip has a hole in the btm near the end...

I usually don't pay attention or remember what state someone is from unless something triggers me to look. I saw the red in your tire and I immediately thought GA.

Okay, A back story about the red Georgia Clay, We were at Road Atalanta. We were testing the Salleen Mustangs and my SCCA Racetrucks. The trucks were doing pretty well but the Mustangs were poor handling, particularly under the bridge. So the Mustangs pulled in with this red clay everywhere. I pitched into changing suspension on the Mustangs as the trucks were handling fine... (fruits of our labor in Dearborn). I had on a white tee shirt...it got so trashed with red that it never got washed out...Margie saw this stained tee and threw it out! it was my badge of honor to Road Atlanta...

Same sorry-assed red clay can be found in VA too, I'm afraid.

Northern CT too. We were doing a condo project there and I had to walk around the side of the building to get the key from under the electric meter. It had rained the day before and I sunk up to my knees in that stuff, it's like quicksand. Almost impossible to get the red out of your cloths too.

We have been on a cleanup kick lately, going through the whole house and getting rid of stuff. My wife is realizing the majority of stuff we are getting rid of is my her's. She has already gone through my stuff over the years and disposed of it. :frown:
But that's OK, gives me room for new stuff. :like:

The red clay turns an All Terrain tire into a slick onion pretty quickly which is why my Ranger sees light duty trails.

My Jeep is running these tires which are great off road but not so much on the street (they're actually pretty good on the street for an MT but just a bit sketchy in the rain)

Installed a PUTCO lower grille to protect the bottom of the intercooler and radiator. pretty simple install and now I don't need to worry about small rocks and other debris causing a failure when I am on the roads.
