So, for Tony or anyone else reading who has installed:

Couple of questions...

(1) Trimming the heat shield. Looking at the pic, do I just trim it so it is cut off about the same height as that vertical part of the underbody? The pic shows it cut, I think. Just wondering how much to cut off.

(2) I'm guessing the heat won't bother the line wrapped with heat wrap much since it's held in place by plastic ties. Just he worry-wart in me wonders if an extra layer would be even MORE better

(3) Final instructions say "get at least three hot and cold cycles through it". More specifically, what needs to be done? Start it up and make sure I drive it till the muffler is hot to the touch at least three times instead of turning it on and then driving 2 miles? What...?

Thanks !!!

OH, and Tony, if that muffler was polished any more, it would be a mirror !!!
