I have ZERO rasp. I might be going deaf though.

One thing you don't want to forget is to flip your fuel lines. See this thread here for my explanation on that.

Other than that, the only advice I can give is to get a sharp razor knife to cut an access hole to install the bolts, and also make sure that you have good clearance everywhere before you mount them. I had to remount mine once 'cause the ground clearance wasn't great. Just take you're time and you'll do fine!

Here is a little clip with mine. www.kornbread-racin.com/camidle1.wmv Right click & save as please.

They look low in the clip, but they were just mocked up after my H/C install. They do ride a little low, but my car is lowered. On the 26" ET Streets they ride a lot higher than when I'm running the 315-35-17's. They are a little loud these days with the H/C & stuff, I love the sound, but my neighbors hate me.

They don't scrape the ground. The damage you might be able to see on them is due to the fact that I hit an 18 wheeler drum brake in the center of the highway @ about 75 mph & it pulled the hangers out of where I had them mounted. So they hit the highway. Just make sure that you have your rearend supported when hanging them so you can get all the clearance you can under your torque arm.

Did you install them on a lift that lift's the car by the frame or the wheels. You need to make sure that the rear suspension is loaded so the torque arm is up out of the way if you don't have the wheels supported, you won't be able to get the duals up high enough to get ground clearance. That's why muffler shop's use lift's that you drive the car on instead of the ones with the little arms that lift the car by the frame.
