Default maybe its just a dumb idea???

I was wondering. You know how the stock y pipe is almost square for ground clearance. Well I was wondering if any body has done or thought of doing a bigger version of this? Or would it be dumb to do this. I was just wondering cause people with lowered cars for better ground clearance.

Are you talking about the flat spot on the drivers side?

Yes people use ovalized tubing all the time for that application. It was made for clearance issues. And no its not a dumb idea at all. I'll be using it to make my new Y pipe for maximum clearance.

send me over some pics when ever you do flatten it. I might do that. Just use a small mallet or what?
