[Shotimes] silencer cone

[Zach Leahy]

I'm I getting this right, you cut like a 6x8" (more or less)hole in
the unibody?  That "sheetmetal" unfortunatelly is kinda structural. 
not terrible up front due to the subframe, but still that's a big hole
in the unibody.  I have to wonder if there would be ill effects in the
event of a collision, especially in that corner.
