Did the Sweet Thunder Swap

FWIW, I took the car to the local muffler shop yesterday and had the hangers cut and re-welded. We originally did the swap on a two post lift, the muffler shop had a drive-on, so I could get everything just how I wanted it.
I now have at least 4 inches at the muffler in ground clearance. I'd wager to say that the whole system fits tighter and has better clearance than the stock y-pipe setup.
I'll post pics if someone wants them.

I can't help ya there 2000Hawk
I will say this though, I think that the whole flow argument is crap. I went to the track tonight and pulled my best time ever on street tires. Dropped .06 ET ( consistently ) and gained a 1/2 mph in higher humidity weather than before.
The car pulls just as hard with no loss up top, if anything, there's a gain.
