Just what it says, tubular or boxed? The car is not lowered, but I would like to not have any ground clearance issues when I am done. I have decided that I will do weld in, but I need to know if I should do tubular or boxed. Any help and suggestions wouyld be greatly appreciated.

I just installed the BMR boxed. Honestly, I don't know what the big deal was. My pacesetter/Y/stock exhaust hang lower than the SFC did.
They tuck up very nicely. I have been intending to take some side profile pics as I didn't find any when I was shopping around.

I have the boxed SLP units on my car, everyone says the hang low, but it dosent pose a problem. If your not wanting to do a double diamond design id give the hotchkis a try. Theyre a boxed design also, and from the ones ive seen tuck up really well too.

Check out the BMR web site. www.bmrfabrication.com They have an explination on the pros & cons of each. Basically the boxed are stronger, but give up some ground clearance.
