okay I measured my TD's. I've got 5 inches of clearance at Xpipe area, 4 inches at bullet mufflers and 3 1/2 inches right at 2 tips. It's actually very close to the torque arm right now. I know once I change my suspension and rear end I will have to re-adjust the TD's again for clearance.

hope this helps.

Also, i'm assuming you took off the tunnel brace???

I flipped my fuel lines. Its a bitch to get them up there, but it makes a huge difference in tucking them up. I'll try to get a measurement tonight if i can.

I'm looking to go this route with my car as well. So I'm interested in what people find. I'm looking to go down 1.2" with strano springs and konis when I do lower the car, but that's a ways off. I've seen this system installed right and it has pretty good clearance. I mean the stock system hangs pretty low too.

John why don't you just ask me since you'e known my car for a few years?

To the OP: I have TSP true duals, flipped the fuel lines, have an aftermarket UMI T.A. anyways so it's as tucked up as can be and is even more tucked that the stocker Y-pipe. It takes effort but it's awesome.

Actually would agree that it's more tucked up than the stock y pipe. And yeah chris I know your car, just wondering if that level of awesome is universal or not

Of course that level of awesome is universal, we'll make it so.

Kinda came to a realization that it's strange, as a man, wanting your duals tucked up as high as they'll go and hidden away. So much against every natural instinct

Yeah I'm sure if I have Ellis do them they'll be amazing. You think I should do the torque arm at the same time just for the clearance?

I wouldn't. Ellis is for sure a pro. The hangers for the rear of the exhaust are adjustable as we all know so if you end up getting a little bit more space when you do your suspension down the road someday you'll be able to mess with it some more then as well.

You can also gain some clearance by installing them with your rear end jacked up. It pushes the torque arm up out of the way. My car is lowered and they have great clearance.

All you gotta do is spend some time tucking up the true duals and you'll be OK.

At first my duals hung so damn low that I had less ground clearance at stock height than when I lowered my car and tucked them up.

play with the hangers, maybe have a shop custom weld u a set if u don't have a welder in your back pocket. also might take a grinder to the bottom edge of the turn downs.
