Default TSP TD's w/ Sweet Thunders on a lowered WS6, will it work ???

I really want to get this system for my car but I am worried about clearance issues. My car is lowered with DMS springs so the front is low, but the back isn't too much lower than stock. My LT Pacesetters are tucked up nicely and I was wondering if a performance shop could give me a little more clearance, if they installed them. Also I am worried about drone with the Sweet Thunders, would it be better to go with the Flo Pro twisters. Thanks.

you'll be lucky to get 3" of ground clearance. My td's are tucked up as far as you can get with no banging, and I have about 4.25" of clearance.
Yes, the Flo Pro's will be quieter than the sweet thunders. Hope this helps

My car is lowered 1.5" and I just finshed up my duals. I have about 1/2' clearance between the x and the torque arm. Thats as good as you are gonna get. If I was stock ride height then I should be able to just about slide this soda can under my entire system. The pipes hang about 1.75" below the top of the can.

Yes half is black and half is silver for now. Im in the middle of painting the entire system.

Man, those pictures sure do make running duals out the back under the axle more convincing.

I am telling you brother... There is NO argument.. It's simple, cost effective, & the sound is unike anything you have heard on an F-bod...
