so a couple mods, I un-Californicated the XF by removing the EGR set up
and blocking off the exhaust as well as removing the evap canister.
The box on top is the stock tool tube.

So I used a piece of 1/4" stock metal and doubled up some
gasket material.
After some more test rides to make sure I have it all dialed in I will clean up the EGR Block and come up with some way to camouflage.
I'm sure that if someone from the government takes a look
I'll catch hell...
Another upgrade, I removed the stock tool tube under the left rear
and replaced it with a 14" welding rod tube from Fastenal
(they have a local store in my town) the tubes run about $15
and is big enough to hold a tube of slime, tire irons, and other tools.
It also matches the exhaust and give the look of dual pipes.
