I was thinking the $400-500 range seemed about right. I will go ahead and make two and give you first crack at the second one. I also have the installation CD with pictures of the critical measurements and set-backs.

As for the bolt-in... interesting! It has the same "dog bone" support which requires cutting the floor pan. Frankly once you make the cuts a weld-in kit seems to make more sense. Wayne's kit welds between and to the rear frame rails.

One thing we'll have to contend with is exhaust routing. There's no room to go over the batwing and the exhaust on the C4s goes under the pumpkin so we'll have to figure something out.

Let's stay in touch!

Best Wishes,
