I've smacked the passenger side pipe twice now, once was after being rushed over a speed bump and the second time was going across and intersection that has a slight rise on the other side of it...barely caught the pipe but it caught it.....speed was 25mph on that one.

With how shitty our roads are constructed here, I give this crossover pipe 12months before I have to get it remade completely.
There is no avoiding all the wavy *** roads here in albuquerque all the time.

Yeah, I know just what you mean. The roads around here are horrible, especially with all the mountains and hills. How bad did it damage your pipes?

Just the back of it. The front is on the ground.

if clearence ends up being to low you can always cut and reweld the piping at an angle for more room something like what frcefed98 did,not by choice originally but im sure hes happy he did it

Hellraiser, your front a-arms are at up an angle so either my car is a pig and causes the front a-arms to level out when its on the ground all the way or your car is missing the tranny or something..just an observation from looking at your pic. Could be my front shocks are toast too But they aren't ALSO my kit sits lower than F bodies with the stock k member, my BMR k member "lowers" the engine from what I've been told.

Cutting and rewelding the passenger side will take some major surgery. I'm probably going to run oval pipe from where it comes out of the header to just before where it heads back up to the turbo.
The ground clearance should then be the same on both sides. I haven't hit my DP that I had to cut and reweld yet and thats on my side of the car where my 225lbs reside.

So far the passenger side pipe has been scraped pretty good, tore the thermal wrap and put some good gouges in the pipe itself.

I think that if I have clearance issues, I may cut the kit up, and run the Ypart of the kit through where the AC pump usually goes. and run the DP on the other side, with an alt relo bracket from somewhere.

This kit is nice, but I think it would be pretty easy to make the kit to where all the parts run above the K member
