 Make sure you are not pointing the exhaust toward the axle. The bearings
will go if the heat of the exhaust blows on it. It is possible that you lost
low end because there is less back pressure when the pipes are shortened.

    Well, I did it. I finally removed them darn decals. Looks
    much better now. After a wash and wax she was
    sparklin' in the sun.
    Also ported and polished the TB. I noticed a definite
    difference in my off the line acceleration and 3rd gear
    pull. No more flat spots. But I did something today that
    lost (for some reason) a bunch of my low end grunt.
    I had to cut off some of my custom dual exhaust to
    put on my Hellwig rean anti-sway bar. (She corners
    pretty good now). I lost some of my low end but
    gained some more pull in the top end. Not to sure
    why this happened. Basically the exhaust is now
    dumping before the axle. Any body know why this
    happened?
