DRUDIS,
I am planning on installing my Torque arm and panhard bar (Griggs) pretty soon here and I know for a fact that my exhaust will not be able to exit the rear of the car still... I was thinking that I would just go with turn-downs after the mufflers, but while taking another car through DEQ for emissions testing this weekend, I noticed that they will not test a car that they can not get to the exhaust system! That means I am pretty much forced into doing a set-up similar to what you have on your car (with pipes exiting in front of rear tire). My question is, as I was looking uner my car, I don't understand how there will be enough clearance to have a 2 1/2 inch pipe go under my subframes. Do you ever rub your exhaust on the ground? Do you have any good pictures of the pipes coming out the side of the car? I checked out your site and coundn't find any that I could really see how yours looks. Again, I am most interested in the pipe coming out of your mufflers and exiting the side of the car. Do you have any pix you could send me?
Thanks for your time...
