Default Exhaust headaches, don't know what to do

Okay so I have the LPP true dual system and absolutely love the sound of it. I really want to try and keep the sound and performance but also want ground clearance to lower my car back to the way it was.

Currently I am using global west 1.5" spring spacers to raise my car up but it's just too damn high seeing as I still have the strano springs in. As far as sound/performance what is the best solution for me? Cut my current system up or go with something else?

if the exhaust is different than the way brian had it, no lol.
I'll be out there @10am or so, bringing a turbo swapped cobalt and a s/c'd ion redline for ***** and giggles. Going for 450whp on the turbo cobalt tomorrow if he can get the boost control issues setup.

A custom setup is about the best way to get 3" duals to really tuck well. I don't think there's an out-of-the-box set of duals that really fits great - some are good, but could be better, which is a result of building the systems so they can be used with different car setups.

^^^Yup... Mine is lowered with 3 inch exhaust and it tucks under just fine. Just gotta take it really easy over speed bumps.
