Default What would you do?

I want to lower the car, but I would have to change my exhaust...

So would you lower it and probably go with a regular Y/Catback, or keep it stock height and keep this... http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2...WS6_143871.htm That's before the tires too if you can't tell.... That first little flyby I had to let off once I went back and forth like 3 times and was at a 30 degree angle sideways.... haha

sounds very good. if its a 2.5" setup, i assume it over axle. people with these setups have lowered their cars. just tuck it in better if need be.

Yeah that's what it is. 2.5", X-pipe, and flowmaster single chambers. Ground clearance isn't the issue (mine is actually much better with this than my old ORY), it's the fact that one pipe is run over the driver's side axle, so there would be very little room for panhard bar movement without it smashing into the exhaust if I lowered it.

Thanks about the sound too btw

All I can tell you is I enjoy the hell out of my Strano/Koni setup. There are also some good flowing/sounding catbacks out there........

Well, I would end up doing a custom Y/Catback if I did that I think. 3" Y with a flowmaster merge into either 3.5/4" catback with a Hooker Max Flow Muffler.

Looks like a good plan

I have heard one max flo on a head cam setup and it sounded GREAT It's about the best flowing 1in/2out you can get for our cars too..

Lower it and get a new setup with a electric cutout or don't lower it and buy a nice cam + tune.

I would go for the came + tune over lowering it.
