How close was it? Will 2.5" work? I really want to leave the car at the height it's at now, but I also won't settle for any exhaust that isn't a true dual setup. Where's the low part of the system?

You will have an easier time with the 2.5" system. Plan on adding headers with it that low?

They're the reason I'm going TD - 1 3/4" Grotts w/ 3" collectors. Coming off Roman's car (lowered) and he doesn't touch, so I think I'm alright up front...although I might swap in the stock springs before the TD install and then check clearance, just to make sure.

5point7, no wonder you didnt have clearance before, with the bullets angled out like they where i but the almost touched the ground. I have my TSP duals running along the trans tunnel, they wont fit down into it like the sweet thunders do but it works pretty good.

Where is a good place to order them from? i think im going to swap out my bullets as well.

5point7, in the pic of your exhaust, I noticed the torque arm mounted on the passenger's side. Is that how the BMR torque arm is mounted, or am I seeing things? Mine is mounted on the driver's side, but it is stock.

I don't have a definitive answer on that, but note that it's mounted on opposite sides from one picture to the other, if that helps you out at all.

69YENKO, you can just google "sweet thunder mufflers" to find their website and order from there.


As far as the torque arm. My torque arm is on the driver side just like all the others, I accidentally flipped the pic in photoshop while I was lightening it up. Sorry about that guys.
