SO, if I use a couple of 45's and weld some offset in my outlet tube within the 1 to 2 inches of room between the muffler and the bumper it will work. Not on my car will this happen.
Good. That's what I was clarifying.

Lol ..... no idea yet, actually, since I really just got them home, took a couple pics, put them inside and went to the GF's place where we're staying during the new house's renovation.

I'm hoping to find out tomorrow but since the 275 sits on that 10"-wide rim so flat, no bubble in the sidewall whatsoever, if anything slightly stretched, I don't think there will be a clearance issue at all

Marilyn watched in her stall while I changed Tori's oil.

Ah, the joys of fatherhood. Price of 5 quarts of oil? $50. Teaching my 6 year old son how to change oil. Priceless.

Today I went ahead and finished the rear 14" brake upgrade, then test-fitted the new AMR wheels.

It rained Thursday and Friday so today I washed the Mustang and detailed the interior. Also gave my wife's Miata the same treatment. Beautiful day in the 70's.

Drove it and rolled 74,000 miles pulling into the drive way...took my brother in the car for the first time and (in a safe location that was empty) burned a bit of rubber for him to experience a true American Mussel car

put it back in the garage for the night and found one of the new keys is not going to work properly so will have to unprogramme the key and send it back...
