Default True dual question.....

is the panhard rod reloaction kit from BMR all that is needed for the clearance to go over the axle? will it work with lowered cars(pro kit)?

diff people will have diff opinions. Apparently the relocation kit is designed for those who wanna do dual 3 inch over the axle. Some guys wont even do 3 inch over the axle w/the kit. Bottom line is, i would get it to make it easier on the guy doin ur exhaust.

how much power do u plan on making?? 2.5 is PLENTY big enough unless u want to make 500+ hp to the wheels, then it becomes a bit restrictive. Plus u get a little more low end power with 2.5 piping, a little more top end with 3 inch. I would recommend 2.5 inch for clearance issues.

in a couple of months my car should be done......EVERYTHING except h/c. every single bolt on including 90/90 setup and a 125shot of NOS5177. I will probably keep it like that for some time before i do a h/c.
