Stock exhaust with 3/5 drop

[Lentsnh2012]

Now I'm assuming that McGaughy's has taken the exhaust into consideration when they were building and engineering the kit. However, I have been wrong before....

Has anyone had problems with the stock exhaust hitting the axle tubes when going that low or did you just cut it after the muffler?

Thanks guys!

I've got a 3/6 drop and no problems with any hitting on my Corsa.

I have the Mcgaughy's 3/5 and have even gone lower with the kit and still no problems

Thanks fellas! I was freaking out for a minute or two as I was typing the original post. I think it will all be fine! Our roads in Alabama aren't too bad, so I don't think I'll have any problem with it hitting the piping.

I'm putting a flowmaster on mine tomorrow can't decide if I want to keep the tailpipe or out a turn down how loud is it with the turndown?

Learning from my Toyotas in the past, the closer you get to your muffler, the louder it gets. You may get more drone at highway speeds.

The reason for exhaust piping and smooth bends is for the exhaust gases to slow down before exiting the tailpipe. without the extra length of piping, the exhaust gases are still "wild" coming out of the muffler causing more sound and more drone.

I see all I have is a cold air intake so I may see if the shop I'm going to has any nice tips if not I'll probably run turn downs thanks for the help
