Duals? Yep.
Lowered? Check.

I had the TSP duals when I lowered my car and they were WAYYYY too low. It scraped when I was just driving down a bumpy street.

 

What dual exhaust system are you using? What kind of muffler? How much of a drop do you have? All of these things play an important role I am curious as well because I want to lower mine and use the T.S.P. true dual exhaust system with some Sweet Thunder Mufflers and would like to know what kind of clearance I should expect. Pictures too!

 

Bump....

 

damnit meent quit posting, im getting sick and tired of dirtying up a clean towel evertime i see your sig

your cars stance and wheels are just too much too handle at once

 

I had 2.5" duals and the lowest point would barely make it over a coke can (on it's side)
My front is lowered quite a bit though.

 

I had a custom dual set up along with a pro kit and i scraped every once and a while... but i could no longer get into my grandparents driveway

 

It's tough to get good clearance on a lowered car, but it can be done. The only sure way to get max clearance is to go with a custom job. If a shop has a mandrel bender or stocks mandrel bends you can buy an X conjunction, drive your car with open headers, and have them build a custom setup. If they don't, buy Summit or Jeg's universal X kit along with mufflers of your choice and band clamps for a little over $200 and have the shop tweak it to fit and weld it all up. I was lucky because Lane has a pretty good jig for our cars that bolts right up and fits like a glove. Unfortunately, I don't think he's building them anymore and have no way of contacting him.

I did a custom 2.5" on my car and when I do it over, here's what I'm going to do:

1. Get the summit 2.5 x kit
2. position the X so it's off center and a little cocked toward the passenger side
3. run the dual pipes side by side down the factory route.
4. they MAY be able to fit over the axle and may need to be dumped but that's the best way to get ground clearance with a dual setup.

If you go 3", you're just not going to be able to get the clearance because of the spot where the factory "flat pipe" was. Even with 2.5" pipe, that spot is low low low. ...and since it's so close to the engine, I was always scared I was gonna bust my headers when it bottomed out.

 

But how is it that you don't really hear too much about TSP's true duals and scraping? Their setup is 3" and they are selling them like hotcakes!

 

All I can figure is the ones who are going with the TSP's aren't lowered more than an inch. Maybe someone will chime in though.

 

Bump...

I want to put the Pro-Kit on my car and the T.S.P. true-duals kit...Don't want my brand new long tubes ripped off

 

I've got the pro-kit on my car, but it seemed to lower me nearly 1.75". No way would 3" duals fit on my car. I made my own 2.5" duals and clearance is decent .

 

The LTs won't be the issue...it'll be right after that. My LTs have never scraped, but my driver's side where the duals start after that have a few times (although not bad).

 

I have TSP TD's and I have issues believing it would be livable if the car was lowered. At the same time, mine is sitting back farther than most peoples would because of how we hooked it up, so it may not be as high up as normal. The spot that gives me the most trouble is the one on the passengers side of the floorpan near the torque arm, a hammer would really add some clearance there and where the factory flattened section was. With that massaging done, it MIGHT work.
