i recommend the slp tips - i threw them on my rumbler catback.


i also found that the clearance was a little tight with the muffler against the driveshaft when the suspension was fully unloaded... on the ground, no problems.

I didn't have to weld anything. Four clamps are included. I just need to retighten one of them so the drivers side doesn't slide down like it is.

As for tips, I really liked the look the stock ones had. But I'd have to cut them off and weld them back on. They're offset so I don't think that they will look right if I just put them on as is. So I'm still undecided.

Nah if you cut it, you can just drop it right down...If you wanted to keep the stock catback with no cuts, you would want to do that. Oh and it bolts up to the y-pipe using a flange with 2 bolts holding it tight in place.

Tried tightening up the clamp. The pipe still slides down. So we're going to tac it in place. I don't know if TSP intended the pipe to angle down like it is doing. I just like the look of it tight up against the bottom of the car.

Do you get any rattle at idle? I do and I think its because of the low hanging pipe you were talking about. It causes the exhaust to hit the phb. Im gonna try to tuck it up when i get home in a few weeks.

I notice some kind of rattle on cold start up. I think it's the heat shield that goes over the axle. Might want to check that just in case.

With my low pipe it was just that particular pipe section that was rotating down. The section that splits into two had enough clearance.

Try moving the whole exhaust towards the back of the car. Slide it where it goes over the y pipe. Mine was hitting the PHB when i put it on so i slid it back and its fine now.
