Not at all. The stock Y pipe is way lower.

I have the Hotchkis SFC's, got them on sale a few years ago. The exhaust hangs much lower.

Thank guys. Correct, the stock y-pipe and especially long tub header set-ups will hang lower then the SFC's.

We also just released a 2-point tubular design that tucks up very well and causes no clearance at all. Here is the link, if I can help with any questions please ask.

Thank you!

The KBDD's and the UMI's are nice. I have the KBDD and did alot of research before I bought them. I have been extremely happy w/ them and I might have bought the UMI's if they were out when I got mine. Weld in is definitely the way to go.

agree with KBDD's. great subframe connector. almost undetectable from the side.
they cost a little more but, well worth it imo.

how about the SLP 3-point vs. the 3-point UMI's? Any particular one better than the other? I am stuck with the same dilemma of which subframes to get. I would like a 3-point design but I am stuck between the UMI's or the SLP's. Any help comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
