I'm completley revamping my exhaust, 2.5 or 3'' all the way back. I would like to run underneath the rear suspension instead of up and over. Does anyone have this setup below the suspension, and do you have an clearance issues?

under, with a 2" drop or so via Ground Controls...i may have scraped the piping a couple times if i come across a bump w/ a raised center? no problems though.

DEF [right][snapback]253292[/snapback][/right] unless it's a really ginormous speedbump, no, there is no problem. usually, if there is any question, i do the angle trick to keep anything from hitting. -John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes

i have a full 3" from turbo all the way through to the 3" canister running underneath the rear suspension. The car is lowered with Tanabe springs, and i've never had problems with speed bumps.
