I'll try to find a new splitter that fits, and weld in a new splitter. one more thing to add to the list

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

the welder wasn't going well, but after I had it set up right, I started over again, and I'm quite happy with it now. just have to join the two halves under the wagon now, and weld them together

I'll be keeping the standard muffler on it for now, as it has to go through a re-vinning process, and they might not like a cherry bomb on there. I will eventually put a straight through with a cherry bomb on it though, more noise than power
