TD's usually have the best clearance of any aftermarket exhausts.. you shouldn't have anything to worry about

My TD's are low, the shop who did them had never down TDs on a Fbody before.

I thought about the moldings but the badges were bad with having fresh paint behind them so i am worried about that because my moldings look like ****.

The whistler mod is coming really soon don't you worry.

Thanks again everyone
