your best bet is to go with a 2.5in setup. Should give you plenty of room. 3" may be too close

Here's my setup with 3" true duals and Hypercoils which is darn near an identical drop to Prokits (I originally had Prokits and replaced them with Hypercoils)




This is how it compares to the Loudmouth setup I had previously:

how often does your car see regular street driving? a beer can is what 2maybe 3 inches in diameter...seems kind of low. Ill probably be going with the tsp rumbler x true duals. right now i have worse clearance than yours with a 2.5 inch set up only because the person who put it in didn't know what the **** they were doing. I wanna lower the car cause i gotta get rid of some wheel gap with the 10 spokes i have...it just looks horrid. im hoping the prokit wont drop me too much.

I never go to places with speed bumps, only road i might have trouble is the one to my girlfriends place which is gravel but it is well taken care of. do you think id be ok with a 3 inch set up?

Also i gotta cut about a half inch off my header collectors to fix the **** up the guy made (he just welded 2.5 inch piping right to teh 3 inch collector, just looks shitty and has a slight leak now), will i have enough room to atleast but the x pipe to the header collectors os i can weld them on? i dont really need a complete slip fit if i can but them close enough to put a clamp around it and weld that on. Thanks for the pics thats what i needed.

Yeah, its pretty low, but not really any lower than the Loudmouth I had before - that was my purpose for including that picture. The car is not a daily driver so its no big deal to me. Actually my previous setup used a 2.5" Y-pipe with RT bullet cats located just behind the header collectors and I would scrape those once in a while. The bullets in my dual setup, however, are actually less conducive to scraping since they're located roughly between the rear wheels. That way as the wheels go over a speed bump for example the bullets go over too. That's a better situation than having something between the front and rear wheels. I'm pretty careful, but I have yet to scrape the duals on anything.

There's just not much room under these cars without hammering the floorpan. Besides, I've been driving lowered vehicles for almost 20 years, so I've developed all kinds of habits to avoid bottoming out on stuff anyway
