I've got some Dynatech's (same things as the XR1)that I bolt up to the headers sometimes and it sounds WAY different than my TD's. It sounds way mean and way loud but it's a bit much to be driving around town with. Ground clearance isn't too bad. The drivers side barely kisses some of the speed bumps but nothing horrible. I bolt it to the header using V-bands so when I welded to v-band to the muffler I put it on there slightly angled so it would point the muffler up a little more, Since that header sorta faces downward

Dynatech Split Flows. I got mine from summit for about $100 a pop. They're pretty similar to the XR1's the only difference is that these have a "cheese grader" going down the middle and they're a little cheaper

by the way never seen your car around here what color is it?

I'm up Newark/Fremont, the TA only gets driven once or twice a week and it's usually pretty late at night 
The car Navy blue, and it's the one that looks like **** now since the new hood is on and unpainted

hey which on specifically are you running, theres a oval and a round then different lenghts also..
THAT **** is hella funny hahaha.. almost the same in that too..
well i just changed my set up (more compresion) and i changed over to a
th400 also.. something from a stop would be nice now lol..
damn the dimension on the oval long ones seem sorta big you have any pix by any chance?? 4inch one right?
mods are the same as you.. well were the same as you but i have afr225
No pics. But I have the 3" ones i'm still on old QTP 1 3/4 headers (Custom stepped tri-Y's for a this winters project 
). It's a tight fit but BFH mod helps a lot on the driver side. Passenger side tucks up real well. Driver side kisses the speed bumps but never hits hard enough to make me cringe and since I have my TD's on 90% of the time it's no big deal to me.
I bet that TH400 would make me look stupid from a dig. My Mickey Thompsons still can't hook in first. But i'm always up for a challenge
