After paying $80 at a local speed shop to have Mrs Teamropes tips installed unevenly, I decided to do my install myself. Besides, it gave me an excuse to use my new mig welder. :)
I purchased 2 2&1/4" sections of pipe that were flared on one end to fit over the old tail pipe where it was cut.
This is the first side I did. A little bit of a kink, but nothing catastrophic.

This is the second side with the 2&1/4" pipe in place for measurement.

The local parts stores were not very helpful in finding new material for the hangers so I used a hack saw and cut the original hangers off the old tips. Don't laugh, it worked.

The alignment came out even, and and they centered in the cutouts real nice. (Just have to make sure your eyeballs are calibrated. :D )

All in all, I have the satisfaction of knowing I can do it myself. :)
Thanks Wes, the delete tips sure make my Marauder sound sweet!
