So you're saying that the Berk has less clearance than the FI? I would have thought since the Berk tucks under like stock it would have more. :confused: :confused:

I was under the impression that F.I. has the less clearance out of all brands lol. I'll see if I get snap a pic of how much clearance I have and post it tomorrow after work.

not true. the gen2 has great clearance. I sit 2" lower and have not once hit my exhaust on anything.... front bumper and side shirts a different story:roflpuke2:

U can see how high FI actually sits
 

.......before I start the car, as im setting the camera, u can see there is lots of space below the cans

Yeah looks like BERK sits way lower. I have pics just being lazy posting them. Will be up soon enough. The sound clip is amazing though props to you. Running any headers?

Stock headers. I think that would be a touch too loud for streets with my set up:icon17:

Alright got some pics. This is on swift springs only. If I go coils I think these pipes wont last with Houston roads. If you look closely you can see I already scraped a good amount off, at least a 2" flat span on the lowest part of the CBE going 35-40mph over small dips in a 50mph area. Bleh.

Sorry haven't checked back into this thread in a while. I'm sitting on Swift springs as well and have yet to hit the exhaust pipes on a speed bump. I'll take a look under my car tomorrow and see if it sits as low as yours.

I was also considering the FI cbe with 18" resonator since i still want a flush tip and also since I'm getting the shine rear spats it would compliment it nicely. There is a thread in the Texas section where a few of us might get together to listen to each others exhausts.

Wow that's really low. If your pipes are that low?, how low are the muffler?

Equalme: a comparison of yours and mine would be nice. I was wondering if it was just me that has this issue. As for the rear spats I was thinking the same thing lol. Look for Wiggins Z here on the forum, he has an album up of his Z. My favorite so far.


Luciano: The mufflers are fine, they return to stock clearance, it's just this rear axle section that is low. So yeah looks like I'll be saving up for Gen 2 F.I. CBE's before moving onto coils.

Mine definitely isn't that low. It actually sits uncomfortably close to that cross member above the exhaust. I wonder if they screwed yours up?

Think I'll make a trip to my body shop (not the one that installed it) and have them take a look at it this weekend. Thanks for your input Mandingo.
