If you are planning on a drop that drastic I'd wait to do duals till you know what your clearance is going to be under the car.

I modded my floor pan to tuck the mufflers up higher. Im lowered 1.75" and I only have about 2.5" ground clearance with my mufflers tucked higher a inch or two. I would figure a 2" drop will be hell with True duals

yeah, if you are only doing 1 - 1.5 you can do the exhaust now.

You'll be getting to know those bumpstops very well with a 2.5" drop...

i decided to wait.....i took it to the exhaust shop today and the one guy looked at it called the other over and said its not worth it....we dont need this one.....then walked away....the other guy looked at it a little more, and was kinda trying to help me out a little more..... and said if i bring him a kit he will get it done....guess they never really did anything like that. I do admit tho it looks kinda intimidating under there. I also figured ill wait cause an s60 will be going in there, and after the new panhard bar i might have more room for the custom job
