I'm guessing after the clutch slip included he is at 380-390 rwhp, which I think should place me at least near 350-360, he is a big guy (300+lbs) and had a passenger in the car.

I feel like most nuclear engineering experiments have less variables than this street race.

I could beat a 700 WHP big wheel, because that giant plastic wheel would just keep making that scraping noise on the ground and never get any traction.

Here is a picture to help everyone get an idea of clearance. Our stainless headers and ypipe tuck up very nicely!

^^ Good Lord, that tucks nicely.

I think instead of giving up and cutting this and that, I'm just going to take my time, and crack a beer when need-be. If you guys do it with no problems, I should be able to do so as well.

I currently have pacesetters and a custom 3" y with a flowmaster merge. Would these come close to mating up to that y? Sorry for the thread hijack.

Im sure it would be close but being that it is a custom y-pipe setup I definitely cant guarantee it will fit.

Just slightly lower than stock, but not by much at all.

The picture i posted is our stainless 1 7/8s headers and our stainless ypipe that we currently offer. We do not offer an aluminum ypipe.
