Just keep in mind I'm lowered quite a bit. If I were at stock ride height there'd probably be another inch of clearance under the y-pipe.

Either way that y-pipe is coming out when I do true mandrel bent duals over the axle. Talked to the shop today just outside of Atlanta, Grand Muffler.

I'm running the same headers but with cats and the bottom of my catsare about 4.5 inches off the ground. I put the whole system in then using a sissor jack starting at the headers began tighting pushing it as close to the floor with out hitting, but yes it is a poor design but the qtp's are worth it.

I cant even fit a penny under mine for clearance
