If you run a true dual system like in the picture you should have no clearance issues at all with our SFC's

If I can help anymore please let me know.. .thank you!

check out the true duals sticky at the top. It should really only be a problem if you're lowered or really worried about ground clearance. I ran true duals with turn downs on my daily driver for over a year with the only problem being scraping going into really steep driveways. be forewarned though a set up like that will be loud.

Re: sfc's in the way will this work?

from what i understand even at factory ride height, there are ground clearance issues if the system doesn't tuck up pretty well. But hell look at the ls1 cars, they run true duals all the time on dd and not a bad word and i don't think the fourth gens are too much higher than our cars. just some food for thought.

well aside from curbs and speed bumps. cruising the streets shouldnt be a problem should it? im going to have it sit as close to the bottom of the car as possible but im putting 3 inch on it all the way plus the dynamax race mufflers are about 4 around.. i dont wanna send sparks on every dip
