Annoyingly Loud, Raspy, and Offensive... Awesomeness After a thread bitching about QTP exhaust I figured I'd put down my man purse and post up some good about them 
The pictures don't do the exhaust justice, b-e-utiful! They were a pain in the *** to get adjusted just right to where they won't bang (stock rubber motor mounts) but they're all good now. The sound is loud, raspy as hell, and gets a lot of irritated looks which is... well

Thanks guys, Zzzzz the image doesn't work. I haven't draged the ground yet but I'm on stock springs with 18" wheels with 275/40 tires so I'm a little higher than stock. It looks like a decent sized speed bump would get ahold of where the flowmaster merge meets the catback but I'm gonna be extra careful not to take any steep hills or big bumps.

Never a problem with my merge. The only place I've ever made contact is the pipe that comes off of the driver side header, just before it turns to go towards the merge. I'd have no problem at stock height. I'm just barely too low as it sits now.

I've got 'three fingers' of clearance. Given the choice between that or a crushed pipe, I'll take what I've got.
Install went pretty well for me, no clearance issues. For some reason, it sounds a little different at low load cruise than other LT'd cars I've had or been around. The swishy noises seem more pronounced. No leaks though, so I've gotten used to it (just in time to put it away for the winter.)

I had an exhaust shop take a section of 3" pipe and cut it down the middle then take about 3 6" sections and snap it over the bottom of my Y then weld it kind of like skid plates.
doesnt look the best but it beats a hole in the pipe cause im lowered with the eibach on stock Z rims so i tap out a bit.

Tough to tell from those angles, but that looks pretty good.
I just ran out to the garage to measure mine. 2.25" from the driver side Y to the ground at the lowest point.
