Anyone looking for more height from their TSP TD'S? I'm sure someone will say this thread is worthless without pics but i left my camera at home. If your turndowns and X pipe hang too low with this system, reverse your fuel line brackets! We did yesterday and my X and Turndowns are now higher than they were before the eibach springs. Very easy mod...just thought i'd throw it out there.

What i did was with my old dumped setup was to bolt the back side of the system to the floor of the car under the rear seats, this gave me tons of clearance. I used rubber to dampen the vibrations where the exhaust bolted up at.

You can see where the lines are reversed. This is after I got my Sweet Thunders on the car. They have AWESOME clearance.
Side shot.
Front, up under the brace. I've got about a finger's clearance when the car is on the ground. Nothing hits with the poly motor mounts.
The money shot.
Keep in mind that this is on a car with a coil cut out of the front springs, and the isolators removed in the back, so it's just a **** hair lower than stock height.

the ******* raised my apr from 8% to 29.99% so i told them to cancel it and i'll fill out one of the applications on my kitchen table for 0% interest for a year. so i gotta hold off on the true duals until my new card comes in lol
unless i sell my sportlines, flowmaster catback, loudmouth, and my ory
then i can afford the td's and some dr's

Looks like you spent some time making the TSP duals fit like they should!
PS - I'm adding this to the sticky.

It's my little way of giving back to the site that has saved me a bunch of money, and allowed me to get my car into the 11's SI. If you would like Blur, I could find some time this weekend and take some GOOD pictures of my duals. They're TSP duals that have been welded with Sweet Thunders on them.
Just tell me what you want.

alright I got under the car and did some work and found that I can get the front fuel line bracket to fit with the BMR adjustable torque arm. Not sure how this compares to the xtreme torque arm.
I cut away the metal bracket the fuel line bracket was connected to then I cut off the bottom "holders" on the rubber fuel line bracket that are against the car. Then I just adjusted the lines so I had enough clearance (close to a finger at the narrowest) and bolted the rubber fuel line bracket directly to the body. Not sure how great of an idea this is and I plan on keeping an eye on it for a while to make sure nothing is rubbing or coming loose.
It does seem to provide clearance for the fuel lines with the BMR adjustable torque arm and after temporarily putting my TDs back on I can see I have tons more clearance already.
