3-inch y-pipe systems
So I finally installed my shorty headers and I had to fab up an intermediate section from the cat to the pipe over the axle.. I did one of the bends a bit early now my exhaust is squeezing my heat shield into the floor, awesome... anyways my real question is how low to the ground is everyones cat / y-pipe?
My cat is only maybe 3.5" from the ground I believe, at best I could gain 1" before it hits my existing brace from my sfc's.. just has me concerned, ive not hit it on anything yet but I had scraped my old setup quite a few times I know its just a matter of time.. and the Y-pipe and cat are very noticable and silly looking, however the rest of my car is too, so it blends in
