Since I'm finally getting my exhaust done, and was debating over under/over axle exhaust, I took a look at the rear subframe.
From what I can see is the GT models have a 'holding plate' or somesort on the subframe to hold the suspension arm bolts. Take a look Pictures from lagos (GT) rear subframe:  Picture from 95CelicaST  Can anyone ellaborate about this, just curious. Will go to Mr T in the morning to check the EPC. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

have you had any issues with scraping? I've been kicking around redoing my exhaust.. the Greddy one has pretty much seen it's better days and it time to bump it up for the 5sfte project. however I can't decide if I wanna run under or over the axle. thought if I could cut out a little bit of the spare tire area and weld in a new piece of sheet metal I could get 3 inch in there. But if it can fit under the axle that makes life alot easier =)
Guess my ?'s are what size pipe did you use? is your car lowered, if so how close does the exhaust sit to the ground? thanks Matt --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

I also had in mind cutting the spare tyre well to make room for a over axle exhaust. But I did some touring around my town and other city's with speedbumps (We are #1 speedbump country I think) and all considered I think its not that bad to go under axle. I dont think I will hit anything with it. I have Tein SS suspension on its stock (as delivered) setting with a 225/40/18 tyre (had a 35/18 tyre so its now 1/2" higher from the ground. (The drop the Teins give is about 1,5-1,7"in the back IIRC) I have about 8.5" of clearance from the rear subframe to the ground. So that will give about 5.5"of clearance which I will think is enough.
