Default TSP rumbler X pipe clearance

My car is a 2002 Z28 M6... because its a Z28 it has some small 16" rims with p245/50 R 16 tires... the car used to scrape on steep driveways... Now that it has been lowered 1.5" with Strano springs, the car scrapes the exhasut everywhere. on steep angles it scrapes the Y pipe clamps, the bullet muffler and the exhaust tips sometimes. I have LTs ( which dont scrape) a TSP ORY, which scrapes as well as a LM1 ( swapped to a Dynmax Bullet) both of them scraped before...

My question is, how well is the TSP rumbler having to do with clearance? Does it tuck higher than a TSP ORY or is it so minor that it isnt worth getting one?

I didn't want to speculate not having experience with their y pipe, but ima guess being lowered 1.5", its gonna be tight, if not worse.
The lowest point on mine are the tips of the dumps, with the bottom of the X coming in just above that.

You can see clearance pix of the rumbler X in my sig for a popcan comparison.

I previously had the TSP ORY, My TSP true duals definitely have more clearance, when I put on my UMI torque arm I will be able to tuck them up even higher.

Sounds good..


My LM was fine, before my TSP ORY... thats when it got lower and on top of that , since my springs its very bad...

Is there any way I can still have rear exhaust pipes with the TSP rumbler?

Here's how high my TSP duals were when they were dumped. It took quite a bit of work getting them to ride this high, but it can be done with patience and a big hammer.

Car was lowered about 1" in the back too.

3" TSP's with bullets.

I had to...

-remove tunnel brace
-flip fuel lines and their brackets inside the DS tunnel
-bash in the front of the driver side bullet (you can see it in the pics a bit) to clear the back seat floor pan

After hanging them, put a board/jack under the tips and go up as high as possible. Everywhere it hits, mark it with a sharpie, lower the exhaust, and "make clearance".

All I need is an exhasut that clears better than the TSP Ypipe!! and it must be true duals. I may wantto get it Fabbed at an exhaust shop now that I see it isnt that well of clearing.
