Any feedback on road clearance of the muffler cans?

Looking at the pic it seems lower than stock pipes.

Tony told me the new design that they've been using for a few months now is a little bit higher than the older ones. Not sure what the clearance is though. I will get mine installed in a week or 2 but I'm at stock height so it doesn't worry me much.

Yeah, it hangs lower. Check out the end of the first post on this thread. It has a picture measuring the clearance on a lowered Z.

For what it's worth, I have not had any clearance issues with it, but my Z is not lowered either.

I swear I'm about to go nuts! What number are we up to now Tony?

I am going to call him tomorrow. We are trying to get my install (#398) in for next Friday, the 11th.

Tony - I have called your office and left a message as you are out of town. I am from Australia - interested in getting the 18" resonated system.

I have GT Haus and I feel its too loud for me. Its a good system but not for me.

The new design hangs a bit higher than the old one, but I've had mine on for over a year now (old design) and I'm lowered 1" all around and have never once scraped. :tup: Careful and correct approaches will save you.

My exact though, I don't want to think about correct approaches if it's not lowered, sometimes I drive rough without thinking about terrain.

Good to know that old one was 4" lowered, and new one should be higher.

Thanks

There have been a few times where you just zone out while driving then don't realize the curb/speedbump until you're right up on it and it's like oh ****!! skkkrrrreeeeeeecccchhhhhhh creep over cringing... No scrape.


Like a boss. :|

My cars dropped 1.5" and the cans seem plenty safe. It's mainly when you go over speed bumps that you want to make sure the axel hits it straight on as opposed to at an angle. So once the front lip gets over, you straighten out quickly.

The front of my car scrapes on everything if I'm not careful.

My front does the same thing. My dealer never installed the front sport lip trim which I'm glad, that thing would be gone by now :rofl2: I scrape that very bottom lip of the front bumper that sticks down, but I'm fine with that so long as the front of the bumper itself doesn't scrape. I also have some problems with being caught on a bad driveway exit that is like a /\ and no matter how much angle you have, you still scrape on the underbody...

So are you saying I shouldn't go over dips and bumps at an angle? Also, I have a lot of speedbumps in my parking structure. I usually go over them with just my passenger side wheel while my driver's side goes between the 2 bumps. Should I avoid this and just go over it squarely with both wheels after I get the exhaust?

You can angle over the front, but make sure the back axle his squarely. Going over with just 1 wheel is a really bad way to do so since you don't know exactly how far everything is. If you have split bumps, best way to do it is take the gap between the bumps down the center so you have the most clearance possible...

I had the message forwarded to me. I am currently in Las Vegas at the SEMA show. Have to represent the company. I will be back to work first thing Friday. I will get back with you then for sure.

Thank you for your patience...

Tony
