That was the biggest PITA! It was worse then the headers. Geez. Bassani X-pipe and a Dyno-Max cat back. Both very much in the way. Ended up cutting about 1.5" off the tailpipes to get them to clear the PHR. Then the TA... Griggs told me I would have to "dimple" the pipe, but when I lined it up, with the pipe as low as it would go and the cross member flush on the floor pan, "dimpling" would have been about an 1.0"s...
We ended up dimpling the pipe a little, and the cross member some more. That got it in, but the X-pipes is right. I had to leave off one the mounts by the tranny. Fortantly I have a friend that works in a shop that has offered to do some after hours work for free, well for a tab later on.
So we'll see if we can't whip something up. That and I have a bad cat that needs to be replaced.
But ANYWAY, the car handles great! Especially on corner exits. The head ache was worthwhile.
Its interesting to note that the 350 lb/inch springs seem very soft, much softer then the 278s I was using before. Says a lot about bind in stock style suspensions, or the lack their of in the Griggs.
