ya, me. clearance sucked even with oval tubing


but here's what it sounded like





sorry for the low light

and heres what it looked like






its been done other ways, and i'm pretty sure unless you do this:


its really not going to work (and btw, that requires cutting/notching a lot of stuff) + the fact that the car is setup for racing (already really low) and will never have to go over a speed bump or pot hole

yeah, it can be done, but as someone posted before me...it's a no go. the side piping just doesn't complement our f-bodies. i've seen it in person and well...

umm, did you not look at the pics?


TDs, you can see the x-pipe and split under the car from the back. dynomax bullet mufflers, !cats

and like i said, i don't recommend this setup. i dragged my bullits everywhere b/c i didn't want to spend $120/flat muffler to match the oval tubing

especially since i didn't know how the muffler sounds or flows.
