Question Lowered w/ TD's. Who has done it?

Just wondering who has done this and how low did you actually go? I was going to go for a 4" Mufflex w/ Magnaflow muffler but now I'm being to think TD's X pipe 2.5 or 3" over the axle mufflers.

I don't want to sacrifice my lowered stance for TD's (Sportline ride height) so I wanted to know has anyone done it or is it even possible?

The lowest part of my 3 inch duals are my collectors for my LT's. How much clearance do you have on them? Ever scrape now?

Lowest part of my entire exhaust is my V-band on the ds collector/y-pipe. I don't scrap it either but only once in blue moon. You have any pics of your 3" duals?

I lost all my pics when my PC crashed. I'm running the Summit X pipe kit with 18 in bullets. Fit very nicely with little to no tweaking. My exhaust guy said that you couldn't run duals on a Fbody after he put these on he has changed his mind.

Matt what's your current ride height? Stock, semi lowered or slammed?

With the QA1's in the front it's adjusted about 1/2 in lower and the rear is stock beside the spring cup removed.

I'm lowered 2 inches and the front dam scrubs on everything. My headers are about 3 inches off the ground and they scrrub on just about anything. I'll try to get pics posted up later tonite.

Thanks I'd appreciate it. Not too worried about the air damn as that's a given for me.

im semi lowered...just a lil lower than stock but not slammed by any means. The lowest part of my exhaust is my collectors and my torque arm crossmember is even lower than that. I lost 0 ground clearance w/ my duals. I'll try to snap some pictures this weekend.

Here's the only pic I have at the moment. the bottom of the headers hang down lower than bullets cause of the cars rake with the Welds. Have the 17 inch Z06s in this pic. Pic in Sig doesn't have the 2 inch drop either. Guess I need to do some updating.

You can kinda see the rake and see why the headers are closer the the ground than the bullets.


These pics are with the 2 inch drop.
