Mike ,
I will send the pictures tonight . I don't have them with me at the this time.
My side pipes are not stainless but the new mufflers are, so when I welded them on I had to have them coated to look the same. Sometimes moisture collects in the muffler and lays in the bottom of it causing corrosion. I felt that the stainless was the way to go. Besides, I really like the way they look when they are coated and the extra heat reduction doen't hurt either.
