SE, i see on Instagram you cars are making some suspension parts. Are you guys doing to have a chassis mount arm that is designed to work with your true duals?

I got mine installed over the weekend. Before you even start i would suggest changing out the bolts in the clamps. I broke 3 of them. It fits decent. The revamp for more clearance will be good....i wish i had that one even tho its probably don't add much.

I had to cut on my mwc tq arm to get clearance where i have it set.

Oddly enough it seems quieter w/o the tips. I'll probably make rear tips to integrate it with the another rear pan I'll make for the car.

Eventually I'll probably put cats on it too.

Thank you guys for the business..

micbegz28: Yes, we will have a full line of suspension parts coming out for the 1998-02 F-Body within the next month or so. All have been test fitted with our exhaust, and will provide more ground clearance than all competitors to our knowledge. Torque arms will be offered in both trans mounted, and chassis mounted options. Here's a quick pic of some heading to powder coating.





Thanks
Sean

Got my exhaust in yesterday. It looks very nice especially for 289 bucks. I got the dumped variant. I have not had a chance to install it yet, but I will post a video once I do, as well as an update on how fitment went. Just as important as fitment though, is sound. I am not cutting up the muffler to view whats inside but I did snap a pic of the muffler. For the dumped variant it appears it is about 4" in diameter, which would be about 12.56" in circumference. It is about 18" in length. It appears to have less perforation than similar Dynomax Ultra-Flow or Magnaflow mufflers that I have owned in the past. One would assume this means this muffler may have slightly more volume than the others. Below will be a picture of the Muffler provided. Overall as far as looks go, these look great for the money. I will post a video of how it sounds and make notes of installation in the future.





Looking through the muffler and into the turn-downs. I am pleased to see the absence of any louvers.

Interesting concept. Exhaust and suspension on these cars don't mix! SO...if you guys are building your torque arms around your exhaust thats a great idea.

I would like to hear more about this. Long or short arm? Where is it set that created clearance issues?

Long arm......you could likely run it w/o cutting it but it would have to be in the upper hole. My car don't like it up there. I had cut my tq arm previously for the tdx dumped exhaust so this won't really reflect for just this exhaust.




As you can see i had cut my tq up pretty good....lol

Getting ready for install sunday. As for the extra bracket that "bolts to the rear seatbelt bolt" Do i have to pull the factory torx seatbelt bolt out and replace it with the supplied bolt?

I kinda hope not... i deleted my rear seats + belts and JUST got done gluing down my ozite carpet. Id hate to have to peel it up to do this.

The fact that the torx is a T47 is comical. Couldn't be a T45 or T50....

yup!

When i I deleted the rear seats and belts before I glued the ozite down I also filled the bolt hole with some silicon. So this should be real fun.

Yes you will have to replace the bolt. The torx is too short with the seat belt bolted up. It may be long enough if the bolt is just run back in to fill the bolt hole.

Some of our trans mounted torque arms are done. The rest are getting powder coated. We still need boxes etc. I would guess a few more weeks.

Thanks
Sean
