Default Texas Speed Catted Y-Pipe Clearance

Anyone have a side shot of this thing installed? Because I have it installed and that sucker is way to low, and from the looks of it the cat is almost touching the floor. Anyone got pics of it installed and routed? Maybe I should have gone another direction with the pipe or something but its pretty bad how much of it can be seen from side of the car.

Sorry no pics. The lowest part of my TSP catted Y is 3 inches from the ground. That is the best you are going to do on the left cat. I have less than 1/2" between the top of the cat and the car. I would not want to run this without poly motor mounts. I have not scrapped on any speed bumps though! The big adjustment to start with is the first piece off of the left header. Get that piece as close to the car as possible. I did not have it right with my old ORY, and now I have the same clearance with the cats.

Well my car isnt stock ride height lol. I cant fit a can UNDER the car. I can fit a credit card under the header. My main issue is how much of it you can see. Thanks for the input, can you tell me looking from the side (drivers) how much of the echaust hangs below the bottom of the frame seam? Thanks,
J

Nice but all of those pics are from the passenger side and you can see in that one pic from behind the drivers side is noticibly lower, I think its just unsightly from the side, however I do think mine has come loose (I dont have the muffler put on so its not fully tight) and may have bottomed out and unadjusted itself im gonna take a look at it in a bit.

I have hooker longtubes and the TSP y-pipe.. this y-pipe sits slightly lower (maybe 1/4-1/2 of an inch) than my off road pipe did.

Here is your requested picture, I hope this helps:

Thanks. Yours does look tucked a little better, also, Im thinking right now the cat is NOT level, which could def be cause the akward appearance. Thanks again for the pic.
