I think the option is a good idea. I just would hate to have to climb under the car and change it out. I see that getting old real quick!
Now if I had a lift (or access to one) then it would be a different story.
with the ball flange, its maybe a 20 minute swap.
I don't drive the car much (not my daily), so thats not a big deal.
I'd have to find some tailpipes though.
