Thumbs up

Out of curiosity, would a UMI Tubular K-member need modifying to do this hump delete?

Nice work BTW

I'll put it this way, my buddy Tommy welded in my subframe connectors and he's at least 6'3" and he had no problem being under there.

In this pic, the TA is one lock from the top, so add another 6".

The k-member does not need to be modified at all. If I ever change to a different cross member, that will need to be modified but it shouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks for the compliments

Those lifts are very cool. I saw one advertised in a car magazine over 10 years ago and have always wanted one.

I can ask. He did this when he was unemployed for a month or two so he had time during the day to do it. I don't think catted or non-catted would make a difference as long as its an aftermarket ypipe. Stock exhaust manifolds and stock ypipe might pose an issue.

I am usually a fan of HUMPING ( lol ) but this is a great job getting no HUMP.

(these titles and sentences make it really hard not to laugh my *** off as I say them LOL)

I was over Brien's house today and took two pictures of the underside. It's basically what I described above. The dark marks you see is where the exhaust heated up some of the seam sealer. Eventually, the whole underside of my car will be semi gloss black and/or undercoating.





The above pic shows how close the floor is to the ypipe. Even with PatG's car shown below, and the heat shield, you can see how far away the ypipe is from his floor board. Note the placement of the cross member in both cases. Mine is almost flush with the ypipe.

I wish you would have waited until I could have met up with you two to see it or gotten some pics that were farther away so I could see the depth of things. Did you take anymore pics?

If you look at the second picture you can see how close the floor is to my ypipe now. Go look under your car and you'll see that the floor was lowered like two inches. Once you start cutting things out, it can only really go back together one way when using the frame rail. I guess you'll just have to figure it out.

Good luck!

Sorry, I've got a 2 year old and a 4 year old and a wife who has her own company so time and scheduling are minute by minute sometimes.

It was a decision at 8am on Saturday morning while I had to run into work and Andy made it to my house by 10am. We were done by noon and he was on his way.

This spring when the weather is better and I have more time, you can stop on over.

Looks great, I didn't even know people did this mod, but it really does look so much better than stock!

Default Yay!

Hello and g'day from down under...! I was super excited to see this article, since I have a right hand drive converted car and I was thinking of getting someone to do this for me.
Just one thing: I would like to know ho much room this leaves for a cat underneath the floor? I have a high flow cat on mine, so there should be enough space to drop the hump, but by how much, I'm not sure...?

It would be flat, like the driver side. Use that as a reference.

Good point. I'll have to take a look under there and see where the cat sits.
