Like how your doing your own thing with your lex. Going to have to take a ride out to the shop one of these days. Dwayne keeps telling me how good it looks in person.

This is way better than the previous one. Nice redesign. Do you leave the expanding foam inside? Seems like it would be heavy.

Final Konnexion is like a TTE + carbon splitter. There are plenty of universal splitters just like you're describing though, they would easily fit the GS.
