Put the mufflers behind the axle.. I put mine there and the pipe going underneath the rear was the lowest point. just some input, from someone who had 3" under.

If your exhaust is hung from your body and your pipes are run up tight with the suspension compressed, what happens when the body goes up and the axle goes down?

Either put some flanges to make the rear tailpipes removable, or have to cut them off. If you need to drop the axle.

Not even that, I'm talking a decent bump or dip in the road.

There aren't any real bumps or dips around me, the roads are smooth. As far as speedbumps go the exhaust will move with the body of the car. Clearance will be the same as if I was running dumped TDs

As you body goes up, your exhaust pulls up. If the body is going up, the suspension is going down. See what I am saying?

Yes but when you go over a speedbump your back tires push everything up.

I think he has enough clearance for general use. If not the axle will make it work.

Thanks..... like he said on speed bumps the tires are following. Never had any problem with my setup for over a year. I wouldnt think your axle would come down far enough away from the body unless you are taking your car on some sweet jumps

Be sure to post pics
