    I have frame connectors and traction bars....just wondering if there is enough room to run the exhaust pipe out in front of rear tire ?? The muffler shops want $ 700 to build me full exhaust in my city

    I ditched my side exit exhaust when I put in the subframe connectors and caltracs. My car sits low, so there was no longer any room for it all.

    I miss it. Loved the sound.

    here is what I ended up with. You can see the lack of ground clearance with all the other junk in the way in this photo.

    Keep in mind that this photo is taken with my car up on dollies, so there is an extra 3 or 4" of extra ground clearance that would not be there if it was off the dollies.

    I mounted my mufflers closer to the collectors so I could exit in front of the tire. imported from XP laptop 666.jpg
