Default clearance with tsp true duals

Ok finally I think I have made up my mind ,tsp x pipe dumped with sweet thunders,I will run it into a cme but I will just run it dumped for awhile,I want to lower my car,how bad is clearance,have any of you guys been able to tuck them up pretty good? And how do you guys like them,I love the way duals sound I don't think any catback sounds as good as they do,maybe gmmg but the duals just are so much more deeper,thanks guys

I plan on lowering it like I said but is there better springs than others that would help me not drag my exhaust everywhere?I was thinking strano springs or bmr,I heard those give you a lil bit of a drop but nothing like a eibach,

You can tuck them up good if you leave everything loose then jack them up in the rear before tightening everything. When I had my Camaro I a loss of only maybe 1.5" clearance.

Differnt set up I know. But like stated if you take your time and push them up and tighten all the clamps you can actually tuck them pretty decently.

I love the way my tsp true duals sound. I Do have a little clearance problem. The part noted as L1 is a mandrel bent piece with one section welded on. Mine came as three pieces welded at different angles. It all seemed to fit together nice but it pushed the elbow on the part L2 down a little. it was the only way it would go without putting pressure on the header. Amazing exhaust but there would be no way to lower my car. I put on everything nice and loose, pushed it up as far as possible and then tightened it all up. It's worth the money by far. Sounds amazing.

How much can I drop the car without having issues I have seen some guys custom duals tuck up almost as close to stock as you can get the issues is I don't have a good exhaust shop around my area,the one everyone told me to go to said there was just no room,honest I said I had cash and I just wanted them to do what I said and they turned me down,bad buisness in my opinion,I run a pro star set up on my car,I feel it just needs a lil drop in the rear,I would like it lower on the front but I'm trying to pick the best to have the less issues with duals,from the clips I have heard there is no cat back that I have heard that sounds as good as true duals,should i just get the idea on lowering it,I would much rather have a killer sound than lowered a inch or so

Exactly. I haven't lowered mine at all. I'd rather have a little wheel gap and the sound of the whole world coming to an end when I smash on the go pedal rather than a "cool stance".

Yeah going to the drag set up the stance looked a lot better than with the zr1s on ,so I think ill just keep it how it is,imho its worth the good sound ,and like some guys said I can do some work to tuck them up better,i took my loudmouth off and I really like the look of no tail pipes,looks a lot cleaner,

Its really gonna come down to how well I can tuck them ,if It looks like I can lower a lil I will if not I might just do the hose mod in the rear,do the llp true duals tuck up better?or is it the same,I like to stick with tsp though they have treated me great threw out the years,also I plan on sweet thunders I would think the bullets give a tad more room?

i just got done installing duals dumped with dynomax bullets and my ground clearance is pretty bad. i need to re adjust it. but as of right now, the sound is worth it.

I installed mine and have great ground clearance. I took alot of time to make sure they were tucked up real nice. lowest part is the dual tips at 3.5 inches of clearance. I plan on lowering the car with stranos soon and I don't expect to have ground clearance problems.

Yeah vids or pics I'm sure would help some of us,honest from the clips I've heard of true duals a cat back doesn't even compare,I'm sure more people would go with duals if they were not so scared of clearance issues,so anyone with pics/vids please post them so we can see how some of you guys installed them,and if you did some fab work with hangers etc,please let us know
