Installed these new side mirrors today. Power folding, puddle light, turn signal indicator, memory and heated. They work awesome!

Went from this:
...and two hours later to this:
It's a passenger side exhaust tip from a Pontiac G8 GT. I found a driver/passenger side set on Craigslist for $20 about two years ago and finally put one on my S10 not long before I sold it. This was necessary cuz the relocated battery was being cooked by the turn-down exhaust:
Fast forward to a few months ago: The same guy had another set of the tips on CL, so I bought those as well, again, for the passenger side tip. Not long after that I saw an ad for some leftover 3" mandrel-bent exhaust tubing from a Flowmaster kit. It's twin pipes with about 18" straight, then an over-the-axle arch, then another straight about 18". I couldn't pass up having all the mandrel bends I would ever need for small exhaust projects such as this for $20.
I had a short day at work today and wanted to knock out this little project. I started jacking up the rear around 3:20 and was headed inside for a shower around 5:20. The G8 tip had a 2.25" inlet, so I started by squashing a piece of the 3" tube into an oval 2.25" high:
Then I cut off the back of the tip to match the tube's opening size:
I don't see this as being a restriction:
After some careful mock-up, I was ready to pass the "Point of No Return" and I cut off the resonator just downstream of the hanger:
After more mock-up, minor trimming, etc., I welded the tube to the tip:
... and the whole thing to the factory tubing:
No pics, but I wire-brushed, cold-galvanized, and painted all the welds and new piping with semi-gloss black.
Pics with Tahoe back on the ground. My phone was having difficulties focusing because of the sunlight coming in through the westward door:
I'll polish them when I get around to washing the truck.

Thanks guys! Y'all probably saw the Jeep and cat pics a few minutes ago LOL. Photobucket was tripping balls and linking the wrong pics. It's fixed now.
