My issue with slip fit is after a year or two of being stuck together they don't like to come back apart.

Doesn't really matter to me I guess since I don't have extra money to spend on anything right now anyway.

SS the slip fit works well, you are not going to run into the issues you would with a reg steel app.. Also some trucks very, are not the same and the slip fit allows you to move it in or out on the pipes vs a ball or gasket style connection. I do totally hear what your saying and this has been passed onto the guys at SW's

I'll be sure to let everyone know when the time comes...

Hope you're right John
