I don't see much of a gain in ground clearance to justify putting a dent in the pipe right there, is there another reason for this? Thanks again for the info.

anybody saying that this isnt a "dual" setup is a moron.

i measured the lowest point, which is the driver's front pipe at 4.5" from the ground.

It visually doesn't look good IMO, and should have been brought over behind the muffler like the Magnaflow setup uses.
Fucntion wise I bet it performs great, I just can't see spending all that money for something I wouldn't be totally happy with.

while the consensus seems the muffler is better to look at than a pipe, you can see here, they just couldn't get it around due to the panhard rod being in the way. abnd the s-pipe would be in the way as well. on the s-pipe piece, bassani wanted this to fit on the car without a need to modify the suspension of the car. maybe with a BMR upper panhard rod, you could then make a pipe to go in that direction. also, i think the real quick 90* bend it would take to get to the muffler might be another reason. the stainless pipe might be splitting. this i don't know for sure.
personally, i'm not crazy about the tips. but, i've never been a fan of 3" round chrome tips anyway. way played out.

JRP - Take a look at the picture posted by Stoichiometric; it's pretty low.
Mrr23 - How far back is the "X" located? I have a Spohn TA with a tunnel brace and was wondering if this system might work. Also, will it fit QTP LT's?

My picture from the side is decieving. There is about 4.5" of ground clearance on my car as well. There is a curb behind my car that makes the pipe look real low. Here's a better pic

one thing to remember. this system is design to fit to the stock 00-02 cats. so, just like me, you'll have to adapt to whatever headers you have. i was able to use what came with the kit to get it to hook to the bassani headers i have. other than that, all hardware is furnished. the rear hooks to all the factory locations the stock exhaust did.
http://www.stealthram.com/bassanidualexhaust.html look over the pics i took on the wife's car here.
my car here. has stock torque arm. http://www.stealthram.com/bassanidualexhaust.htm
if you have any questions, let me know.
and of course, when you do buy this, support the wonderful sponsor i got mine from :p http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...s1exhaust.html
after all, i did all the initial dyno and track testing.
