Also depends on if the local guy has a mandrel bender.
Crush bender is what most have.

The red accents on it must look nice coupled the red Marauder logo in the dash Blwnmerc. :coolman:
Over a few weeks not days. 
3.5" aluminum pipe and 3.5" in and out Hooker Aero Chamber mufflers. Didnt lose any weight for this section cause the mufflers are pretty heavy. But she sounds mean now.
Hopefully this will free up some HP cause the old mufflers were pretty small inside. But we put out 700rwhp thru 2" ID mufflers lol.

Update
Made appointment at local Ford dealer here in Jax, FL to have my sticky hood latch repaired - in and out within an hour, priced right and hood now opens with authority! Just cleaning and lube.
Running errands tonight and 'Check Engine' lamp comes on, deteriorated idle quality immediately noticed - engine doesn't sound as well under load either. Steady idle with no stalling (in Park or Neutral). Last week, Marauder began surging at idle when in gear - thinking they're related? Back to the dealer, hopefully tomorrow.

Update:
Car was delivered to AA Automotive (Jax, FL) Wednesday afternoon and met Enterprise for a rental car. AA phoned me back Thursday to tell me the vacuum leak had been corrected (CAI tube was mis-mounted) but a transmission leak had been discovered, coating much of the bottom of the car - lost 2 quarts. Yes, I had noticed a burning smell beginning Monday.
Picked up Marauder today.
Not convinced the ‘vacuum leak’ (?) has been corrected as Marauder continues to surge when in gear with no throttle applied. Intermittent ‘crap idle’ too - I feel like the ‘Check Engine’ lamp is about to illuminate at any time.
Tech determined hole drilled improperly for lube line to tail shaft bearing fitting. This is the aftermarket tail shaft assembly that has a lube line going to the tail shaft bearing. Marty Ochs offered to warranty it - tech at AA reassembled the joint with pipe dope.
Upon observing further driving cycles, I’ve noticed Marauder will start and drive fine every other cycle - good idle, no surging and sharp throttle response - as good as ever. ECM relearning?
