When I called they said both were in the works. I'm a bit surprised they'd do the short one first, considering it seems that a lot of guys use their products on street cars.

If it doesn't clear TSP duals, I'm out.... As well as my buddy. We are both running TSP duals.
Founders.. You need to make one that clears TSP duals and most Y pipe setups, at least Kooks, Pacesetter, TSP.

I'm not sure who is buying this if it is short and won't clear duals.

This is a bad decision if you're not making a long. That counts a TON of people out.

I was holding out for a TA from founders also, but broke the 10 bolt again so ordered a quick performance 9" and UMI TA and relo bracket. Sorry founders. Love my founders 3 piece bushing LCA's though!
