I just installed my magnaflow kit and the muffler seems to sit low. Now the rear is jacked up higher than the from so it is a little misleading b/c that is all you can see is this big SS muffler. I adjusted it as much as I think is possable to get the muffler up. I took of a dyno mouth system so it was just a small little bottle behind there b4. I do not want to let the car off the ramps and jack stands b/c it is a pain to get it in the air. But if this is as low as it hangs then fine.

Any info on this would be great.

Looks great man! I don't see the issue. You could see my 4" magnaflow pretty easily when I still had it. Let me find a picture.

Thanks.

It's actually a Mecham spoiler. Most similar to the 96-97 spoiler. I really like the 98-02 SS spoiler but since I already have the SLP SS hood, I didn't want to build a complete SS clone. The Mecham spoiler is fairly rare (mostly because it costs way too much).

if you dig around I am sure there are many more on my site. Seems like you could get it up a bit more by twisting the muffler up, as well as the exhuast tips basically everything tipe wise stays the same but the muffler swivels in up towards the pan hard a bit more. also link in my sig.
