Yea, the paint cap worked but it still left the other resonator. Here is what it looked like after cutting them off.




Template made from an old folder. Used this to cut a black plastic piece from the old resonator I cut off.


Black plastic lemon shaped plug welded in with soldering iron.


Lower resonator cut off. This is where I use to have the paint cap.


Filler piece from the old resonator.


Welding process started, note big gap at the front yet to be welded.


Testing for leaks and fit before final sanding, filler and paint.
