ground clearance, and rattling
ground clearance, and rattling I just installed TSP true duals on my T/A and the inside of the car rattles pretty good now.... but only the center consol. the area right below the gear shift is the area that rattles, i was wondering if anyone had this problem and how you fixed it. also what is the average ground clearance that you guys are seeing with the tsp duals? thanks!
I removed my ashtray and it helped a bunch of the rattles. It still rattled some, but only at some speeds. You can get some dynamat and stick it to the inside of the console if you want, it would probably help.
Try pushing on it in a few places to see if you can localize the rattle.
For clearance, i recommend you jack up the system with a board under the dumps as high as you can, try to make the bullets ride inside the DS tunnel. Lowering the rear of the car causes the TQ arm to ride up a bit higher and allows for a little more height (at least mine clears well now).
Did you flip the fuel line brackets?
There is a link in my sig to my exhaust pictures. After the ones with the extensions in place, there are some pics of how it was when it was still dumped. My clearance was pretty damn good like that. It took about 2 different trys of jacking around with it (literally) to get it right. Patience is key to making the system fit right. You have to make it higher and higher, and fix the problems you run into. For example, i had to bash in my driverside bullet a bit to make it fit inside the tunnel.
My car is lowered about an inch in the rear, keep that in mind.

My console rattles bad too. I've actually got it off trying to eliminate some of the rattles. The worst part are the little plastic sliders around the shifter and underneath the gear indicator. I'm going to get rid of the sliders and make a leather shift boot instead, and try to rtv all the loose plastic pieces under the gear indicator to stop the rattles.
As far as clearance, blur's advice should do the trick!
