My opinion only... For a lowered car with LT's and ORY you'd need to run pipes over the rear axle and put a decent muffler on each one. Otherwise they are pretty loud.

I say go custom, I picked up my 2.5" hpip0e of off here with some glasspacks for $90 shipped, didnt really like the way they sounded and ditched them for bullets and it sounds great and have just about the same ground clearance as my old borla ory set up. I dont have any picks but you can tell the clearance in the vids, stock height btw

You get them through our sponsors. LMP sells them IIRC. I have one but I bought mine from a non sponsor seller.

True. I bought my bassani when my only intention was just the true duals then I added SW longtubes. Muffler shop had to do a little fab but at the end its good to go w/ V band clamps leak free.
