Default Show me pics of your ORY ground clearance

I am currently installing a TSP ORY. I noticed that it seems to hang a little low on the drivers side. Just wanted to compare to other Y-pipes.
TIA

hmmm...i have never dealt with the tsp ory, but my pacesetter ory is up pretty high on the passenger side, generally, its the drivers side that doesnt have much room and is forced to hang slightly low. i used to have a true dual setup with an x pipe, and i had no clearance issues on the passenger side of the car either.
here is a horrible qualtiy pic, but you get the idea. a soda can will just barely slide underneath it.

Yep, your gonna hang low with the 3" TPS pipe. My driverside is low. Look at the stock exhaust on that side though. It's like maybe 1.25" tall & your putting a 3" pipe in its place. There is no way for it to tuck in as good without flattening part of it also.

If you get it welded everywhere except the I-pipe & LT's you can get some more space, but not much. I have maybe 3/4 of a pop can height on my driver side & thats at stock ride height. You will also want a bump stop hanger or it will sound like popcorn under you.
