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

Can anyone ellaborate about this, just curious. Will go to Mr T in the morning to check the EPC.

I don't even think mine comes close to touching while I go over speed bumps. I'll see if I can park over the top of one and then take a picture to show clearance.


The main thing to remember is that when the shop is doing the exhaust, make sure they mock it up while the car is on the ground. Most places will put the car up on a lift and then fabricate the exhaust... this causes a problem. The rear suspension is extended all of the way down - they mock up the exhaust to hug up under this - they then lower the car and now wonder why they have 4"+ of a gap between the frame and the piping.
