Default Anybody lowered with dumped TD's

I have the TSP true duals dumped before the axel, ive been debating about dropping my car a bit, just wondering how many of u guys on here are lowered and are running any kind of X pipe setup and whether or not u guys are having any problems with clearance. I may just do the hose mod in the rear and run some Koni SA's up front. Let me know guys

I'm lowered with Strano springs with tsp true duals run out the back under the axle, and the only thing I ever scrape is my headers on speed bumps if they are too big. Theres some pics of the ground clearance in here.

Nice

Did you buy your duals like that from TSP? Or did you have to modify them to fit your LT1? I didn't think that TSP had duals specificly for LT1s...

And what kind of headers are those?

I had to buy collector flanges for it to bolt up to my headers, and the drivers side header on LT1's is straight back, and on LS1's it angles towards the outside of the car, so the exhaust shop replaced that angled pipe with a straight one, then it bolted right up. If I was to do it over I would just buy the summit x-pipe kit and mufflers and save myself $250 that way.

Ahh I see. I was wondering cause I have pacesetter LTs and they have slip fit collectors. I think I'm just gonna go for the summit X kit.

Thanks for clarifying
