QTP ORY 2" clearance?????????? Me and some buddys put my QTP LT's on yesterday, and I finished putting on the QTP ORY just now. Got it off the lift and measured 2" at the lowest point on the ORY to the ground? 
I'm pro kit lowered, is this normal ride height? The LT's tucked nice but the drivers side ORY is scraping coming out of the shop. How low are you guys? Thanks.

Prokit lowered, your Y/X/H exhaust options are limited in diameter.

If your slammed no exhaust will have good ground clearance. Try to adjust the y pipe. When i did mine, it was low at first but a twist here and push there and it tucks up real nice. But if the car is lowered 2 inches or more nothing short of a oval pipe will help.

1/2" better tuck up + 1/2" extra clearance offered by a 2.5" pipe gives you all of 1" better clearance.
It's up to you. Lowered cars have to deal with being lowered. A custom Y would be the best thing to do, as a fabricator can make it snake as close to your floorboard as possible.

, and I ended up with 2" ground clearance. Will an oval shaped pipe on the drivers side affect performance at all? The headers tucked nice though (3 1/4"). Trending Topics

I have a catted y-pipe. After a very patient chess match, I managed to adjust it pretty close to the floor. My car has the 1LE suspension. Performance seems to always come with a trade off some wheres. Long tubes and lowered ride heights in an F-body will definately fall into that category.
u guys are scaring me, my mufflex has been on back order for 3 weeks and ive been getting anxious now im thinking cancel the order. i was planning on putting this puppy on in the garage.
Yeah, with the pro-kit, LT and custom ORY you need to avoid steep driveways and speed bumps like the plague. I had one speed bump rip my system clean off once, at low speed even. However it rides on rails and for autox it's the snitz.
a muffler shop should be able to help you out on the ground clearance.i didn't even attempt to put my qtp ory on,i just drove it with open headers to the muffler shop but i probably still don't have much over 2 " myself,maybe 2.5 "

I don' t have my car lowered, but, the best I could get out of the cat' d QTP y-pipe was 3.5". I about had that thing as high as it would go. I think with more leverage and time, I could have gotten it a little better, but likely only another 1.25-1.5". I have the Sphon TA ( LT style ) and that hung a bit LOWER than the QTP y-pipe! I hope it works out for ya'. Watch them speed bumps...
