how low can you go? how low can you go with tsp true duals i know there will be ground clearance issues but how far can you go before you can't make a speed bump no matter how you take it.

think there is a guy on here with a 3" drop and has duals...hes still drving it so I guess its possible.
But once you lower you car and get duals clearance becomes a concern.
How low are thinking of going? pro kit?

It does take some work, but it's not impossible.
One of the main concerns with TUCKING a dual exhaust system is the TQ arm hitting it problem. The more you lower the car, the more the TQ arm moves into the tunnel, and the more room you have to tuck the exhaust.
If you go around adjusting the system here and there with a jack under it, addressing each problem when you get to it, you can get it pretty high. For example, I had the jack under the turndowns on my system before the cats/extensions, had it going up pretty high, but the driverside bullet hit the rear seatpan bulge beside the TQ arm. I removed the bullet, bashed the **** out of it in the spot it was hitting, slid it back on, and was able to get an extra 3/4" out of it.
Lots of people "throw" on the TSP duals system and don't have good results.
There's a link in my sig that has pics of it BEFORE the cats/extensions were put on. You'll get an idea of how high you can make it ride from there.
