Well I was able to get a couple of pics in today. First one is a backside pic of my TSP X-pipe...notice there is plenty of clearance! Again, my car is lowered close to 1 inch...even with a full 1.5 inch drop, I dont see clearance being an issue when being cautious...


The second is from underneath the driver's side panel...I measured the clearance and came up with roughly 4.25-4.50 inches from the ground. No rubbing against the floorboard...

UGotBeaT: I listed a link below with additional pics underneath the car. I have a couple that will show you more or less where the hangers should go...hope this helps!

I dont know if my car has been lowered or not but I only have 5.5" of clearance from the floorpan to the ground. What does yours have?

Clearance looks good on those pics. Take that coke can and sit it in front of one of the bullets and snap a pic if you dont mind.

Here is a shot of my bullets.

Thanks bud...I noticed you have a TR224...I've got a TSP224R in the TA at this time and I can guarantee you'll fall in love with the sound! Idle is a nice deep lopey tone and the tone levels thoughout the RPM's are AWESOME! Not to mention it simply screams at WOT...

How close is the top of the driver side x-pipe to the torque arm. It seems pretty close in the first picture?

I would recomend taking those exhaust clamps off and do some welding or use band clips. I use to hit those all the time. What i found helps for the back, use a jack and put those as far up as you can.

Yeah...I think I have enough clearance to not scrape the end of the exhaust clamps...but am going to replace them anyway with band clamps next time I am off...

well i got my exhaust all welded on and tucked in...they said they couldnt put flanges on it cause of somethin...morons...and they cut my fkn hangers off and have my drivers side bullet held by a piece of wire on the torque arm? so yeh its rigged so i gotta take it back to them and have them weld the hanger back on through a bolt...but anyways I got about 3 inches of clearance and havent scraped yet thats pretty impressive with how much my car is lowered. I really dont see why people say its loud cause it really aint that loud and cant imagine it being any quieter, i guess its just cause ive been drivin aroudn with open headers for the past couple of days.

I went to autozone to get my codes checked out and it says my front 02 sensors arent working....will that hurt anything cause i know its killin my gas mileage and prolly runnin a little rich.

ill have pics up soon.

I dont have mine hooked up at all, still get around 30mpg on the highway. Close to 420 to a tank of gas. I had mine at first upside down, and was ripped off to open headers again. Then i got it on right, dont even hit on huge speed bumps.
