nah, you gotta take it to a muffler shop and have them replace the piping so it fits right.

awesome, i can't wait till it's here. i was planning on doing the same thing -- painting it black. did you scuff up the surface before painting or did you use an adhesion promoter?

I used 300 grits sandpaper at first but went to 150 since the 300 was kinda to smooth. I didn't use primer or adhesive promoter since I was worry the muffler heat might be a problem since they not design for high heat. I sanded, clean the muffler with rubbing alcohol to get rid of oil from handling it, then painted with Duplicolor flat black ceramic high heat engine paint. One can is enough for the muffler. Did anywhere between 3 to 5 coats. I can post pics later if you want to see the process.
