Clearance ?

How much much room should I have between the pipes and the car/axle?
My 3 inch hooker catback has like less than an inch clearance and I worry about bottoming out my suspension and smacking the exhaust. How much do you guys have?

Only an inch? Take the exhaust down and re-do it. I have a 4 inch systme and I can easily stick my fist between the axle and the pipe going over it. You may have to have the exahust cut and modified but you should have WAY more room than that.

Good luck

I had a feeling someone was gonna say that...A fist you say? Geez, I need to look again, I'm not even sure how I can have that much room period under there. I must be doing something wrong.
