Yeah, but for a stock ride height car, you shouldn't have to do this. I just insisted on having my !4x4 mod. I can't stand the look of the stock ride height. I don't like slammed TA's either... Over 1 1/2 and such. But I hate seeing the gap when you go to 17's and 40 profile tires.

But they flattened the bottom of your pipe...

I'm more worried about it banging the tranny and giving false KR... do you see any KR in your logs?

Damn... that's not good pic. It's the only one I have right now. I'm not logging it, but if I get a better pic, you can see it's close but not touching. The installer road tested my car and put 300 miles on it to properly break in the clutch and rear end. They tweaked with this pipe very often, and I'm sure they initially might have had a problem with that. However, now it's perfect. I've already put another 400 miles myself. DAMN, since Saturday!

I can't turn the ignition off... I think I have a problem...

YES. This weekend I will take some (My wife is the camera expert and knows how to make it do video), and then I'll resurrect this thread by Sunday night or Monday.

On a side note, as appreciative of GM as I am that they created the F-body, I curse them twenty-fold for their window-motors designed for the three purposes of opening/closing the window AND falling apart. The passenger side window died right when I could barely put it back up. Oh well, just when EVERYTHING was in woking order...

I will meet your curse and raise you one. My truck did the same thing and the same door - passenger side window. What is it with the damn regulators on the passenger side? Do they have a human on "the line" at the factory working on one side and a robot on the other ???

Ugh, that's the only positive thing to come out of having my dailyZ totaled.... it needed BOTH. They weren't dead, but they were on the way out.
