I'm with slow trap. After the flowmaster collector there is a cone reducer which in theory is designed well, it just isnt compatible with all exhaust systems. My ory also hangs a bit lower then I wanted but the whole setup together sure does flow good. If you get a professional to install it you will be happy. Just dont try and do it yourself when your car is on ramps/jackstands. PITA!

You need to checkout one of the board member ( SLP9723) set up for a customize Y-Pipe.

I think that you should take the clearance thing into consideration...Not saying that you arent, but it will be the part that is a PITA on down the road. literally.
