Default NEW Under Axle Pics are HERE!!

Well, my old system was too loud IMO, so I went with the 50 series delta flowmaster mufflers. WOW!!! They are much better than the twisters. About 3 notches quieter and a LOT deeper tone. Has a nice idle. Sounds great from the outside. Nowhere near the interior sound too!
CHECK OUT SIG 4 PICS!! Leave opinion if you don't mind. Yes I did sacrifice a little HP, but it is well worth it!!

FLOWMASTER

Seems they hang too low, but if you like it that's all that really matters.

It looks that way I know, but its not that bad, there is a shadow in the "ground" pics, so you have to account for that. With my Twisters I had about 5 inches I think and now with the FM I have 4 1/4. Which I now is less, but I haven't hit anything......yet!!

looks good... i would not go that low on my car but from the pictures it seems to be tight so you should not have to many problems...

did a local shop do the work? are the pipes painted in hi-temp paint? they look good.

yes a local shop does my work and no not yet on the paint. Until now, I was just experimenting with different setups. Right now, the only thing left to paint would be from mufflers back. The reducers were painted like that from Summitt. Yes this system is very tight. No rattles as of now.
