I might have just gotten lucky and the previous owner might have already beat me to the punch. I haven't noticed much wander either. By the way, I recommend MBRP's 4" Turbo back to anyone that doesn't have it already. The tip looks great and since I live somewhere where they don't salt roads (Fresno, CA) ever I got the aluminized. Can't beat $360 shipped and only another $150 to install. $510 out the door and Banks wanted $900+ just for their 4" exhaust. Someone needs to tell these guys that a mandrel bend is a mandrel bend is a mandrel bend no matter whose name is on it!!!!!

I believe they ALL do come with a FRONT...
But the REAR were part of an 'option' package...that apparently mine did NOT come with...so not ALL have factory REAR bars...

If I get one of these and install it, then down the road I want to put a lift kit on, do I need to modify it? or will the same hardware work from stock hight to 4" or 6" inches of lift? Thanks for any help. I am really close to ordering one.
