I would rather take the stock ride height than have it slammed that much.
I agree, good point.

Too low for my taste, I want mine more functional for daily driving, and at that height I would spend too much time dodging manhole covers....just kidding. If it's you, then drive it.......

1986 Trans Am stock (for now)
305 c.i.d.

The tailpipe is 3" and the tip is 3 1/2". Its not like its a total fart can, but I am getting rid of it soon. I have gotten too much crap from everyone about it so its going bu-bye in favor of a 4" with Spintech muffler.
