How's this for ground clearance???

We're finishing up a customer's kit with 2.5" up-pipes and thought you guys would like to see how much ground clearance we have. Note this car has been lowered 2". So no, running pipes under the K-member isn't as bad as what most people think

Looks good. Keep up the good work! Is anyone planning on buying this kit so we can have some numbers posted? BTW i will be contacting you about a huge FMIC for a twin turbo setup.

Looks like it matches the level of the trans x member and the rear diff. Nice job. Can you post up pics of the same car, all kit installed, or has it been added to your webite?
Thanks

Well, if that is lowered 2" then I like it.

when you say up pipe do you mean down pipe? or the pipes that come from the headers and go to the turbo exhaust inlet?

I mean the pipe that goes from the headers to the turbo inlet. People call it so many different names I'm trying to just call it something most people won't get confussed with. Probably didn't do a good job did I? From now on, I'll call it the header extension. That should clear up all the confussion

Ive been building kits with pipes under the K member for years, it works great, and never had problems with groudn clearearance, however there is always people that will bitch.

IMO though if I had built a set of headers, whats the point of going under? ;)

that clears it up.
so how big is the downpipe then?

looks good, my car is lowered, and is the main reason for not going with a STS for now. kit is looking very nice, great job man. i cant wait to see some members installing these so we can see some numbers. keep up the good work

in this picture the pipe looks alot lower http://65.254.231.111/picture_hostin...o_turbo_07.jpg


also whats the deal witht he dual wastegates? 2 tial 44mm?

I think it was different diameter pipe there.

I never understood why 2 WG either.

Looks great. Now don't go under like the rest and I'll buy a kit from you this summer, hehe.
