Took me a while trying to lower the car back down because I was afraid of crushing the exhaust during lowing the car from rear jack point (the pumpkin). I ended up using the rear pinch weld to lower the car...

The Z is my first toy car that I intend to mess around with, and this is the very first set of exhaust I've owned. Drove to work 1/2 asleep this morning with the top down, and boy it is loud.... Still trying to get use to it.... I ended up driving slower than normal because of the noise. I did let the exhaust sing a little while driving through the underpass, it sends a chill through me and made me feel young again! As a 36 yr. old dentist, I feel like back in high school.

The only thing I am concerned about is the gap between the exhaust tip and the rear valence. How much of the gap should I have? Will it melt my bumper?
