True Dual exhaust is in! ...and it scrapes every pebble!

well it sounds good, and looks good...

but it hits every bump in the road! lol i have about 3" of ground clearance, and while this probably wouldnt be so bad in a normal thirdgen, my suspension was bottoming out BEFORE i had this exhaust in place....

so now... i need new suspension because of my exhaust! sheesh.

well at least it sounds and looks good. the exhaust exits in front of both rear tires.

I used Flow Tech's "raptors" mainly because they were cheap and i have never heard them before. i wanted to go with 40 series but didnt have the $$ for them. they are pretty quiet at idle, which i love, and of course they are loud as all heck at WOT... which is fine. not bad at all. they are quiet enough during cruise and idle to actually hear the MSD box buzzing... and loud enough at WOT to scare the crap out of the people next to me.

pics coming soon!

Dude those look sweet.
I doubt there is room for dual cats+dual muffs

I saw someone with a similar setup in the Branson,MO area.
He used some funky 1.5"x4" tubing (oval). Solved the
space issue but it was expensive as hell.

I was going to suggest taller tires...but you already have tall ones.

Whaddaya think about getting the rear end higher up in the air?
