You got to be kidding?

I emailed Pat C this morning and he got back to me right away. To avoid the tether all that would be needed is a 1" weld per primary tube....quite a bit cheaper than a $200 set of "links and cuffs".

Would be interesting to know where this comes from. Two things, follow the money and who benefits.

im considering a 4" square section of plywood mounted behind the collector. The plywood will be affixed to the floorboard with some angle iron brackets on the top half and some big springs mounted to the lower section that will stretch to the front bumper brackets.
I'll just drill a hole in the center of the plywood for exhaust to escape; starting with a 1" bore and maybe increasing it to 2". That will satisfy the DB requirements that will be next and I will have a cheap way of slowing my car down and avoiding the AHFS.

You forgot the Plywood must be SFI approved for flammability!

I'd be more interested in paying $ 200 for something to help get my collectors off .there have been times I'd pay $200 for someone else to take them off ..sure cannot see paying to keep something on that is double bolted and requires hammer& chisel to remove. JMO
