I did 3"-->2.5" OTA and am VERY pleased with the setup FWIW. I'm currently running a prokit with Bilstein HDs and seem to only scrape over speed bumps and getting in/out of my garage . So I'm in the process of going back to stock springs with Koni's...

yuup, exactly where I'm going with it. If I had done 2.5" duals front to back I'd probably be ok but I really wanted QTPs and they use a 3" collector so... Driving around I never scrape.

I was thinking Mecham too but my muffs are mounted too close to the bumper so they're too long. I went with some polished stainless 4" slash rounds from Magnaflow. Should look pretty cool. Which Magnaflows did you go with? I went with 10416 which sound frickin AMAZING!
