Default lowering car with true duals?

i just indtalled a set of duals on my car and they tuck up about as far as they can go(they touch the damn floorboard) but it doesent look like i could really lower the car like i want to. deven 1" or 1 1/2" inches would be plenty. has anyone lowered they'er true dual car? any info please

i think ures sounds just a little throatier, but besides that pretty close to the same. i actually just installed my sweetthunders today, and i love them they sound better than anything ive ever heard! i had magnaflows and these sound better i think. i like your ss by the way.

TD don't stick down much further than a regular y setup does.. Heck, back when my car was on the street, it would drag the Tunnel mount for the TQ arm before it drug my 3in TD

well im not having as many problems since i went with bullit style mufflers. im just concerned that my car wont be all that drivable if i lower. but everyone knows 4th gens look much better lowered. im thinkin a 1" drop might be the way to go
