Default Got TDs? Get this!

When I put my 2.5" TDs on it banged like a MFer. Only thing I could do is weld it to the upper panhard bar or whatever you wanna call it. I ordered this bar so my hopefully my TDs can fit without touching, rattling, and banging all over. It worked out very well! The bar is 200+ but it is worth it. You can see on the left pipe where it was welded to the stock upper phb. I pulled my exhaust down a little bit. This bar gives you like 3-4 extra inches of room!

There was just a thread on this a few days ago... someone asked if there were any downsides to using one of these, and one of the sponsors who sells them said they are detrimental to handling. That's the only reason I don't have one yet, because I run true duals also, but I'm planning on making my car a corner carver.

I run in a straight line. I'd rather loose some handling than have my exhaust hitting everything.

It does affect handling but to say it's detrimental is a matter of ride height and driving style.
