I forgot to mention the exhaust. I took the stock WR pipe and cut it up and rewelded it into the shape needed. It is a paper thin stainless and even when I set my TIG welder to it's lowest setting , just the heat and gas would blow a big hole in the pipe. I had to lay the rod on the pipe so it would absorb the heat and add material. The can is a stocker with the spark arrester and choke down pipe removed.
