Anybody have problems with 3" exhaust banging around? I have the eibach sportline lowering springs.. is it just too low for 3"?? I'm thinking of going with the pro kit springs and a 305/20 DR, will I still have issues?? any input would be appreciated.

mine doesnt bang around i think it just rests on a support somewhere where it goes over the axle. are you using both hangers on the muffler? did your car come with the rubber brackets under the transmission mount??

I have JBA's 1 3/4" long tubes with full 3" exhaust. I did have a problem with the pipe over the rear axle melting the hard plastic gas tank vent tubing. Just routed rubber tubing and secured with plastic ties away from the exhaust pipe. Oh, forgot to mention I have the Shelby/Eibach Coilover suspension which amounts to Eibach's Pro Street S Package.

Thanks for the info, it does seem to be at the axle. Am I right in thinking that the diffrent springs will give me enough clearance for the exhaust... would be alot to do and end up with the same problem... ???

me 32.. your suspension sits a little higher than mine I think... I am sitting too low and there may not be enough room between the car and axle, I was hoping somebody else had the sportline springs and had the same problem or not?? Thanks for any help offfered.. I really appreciate it !!

I think that the prokit sits 3/4" higher than the sportline??? that would give room for the 20" drag radials and more room for the 3" exhaust ... ???? anybody have this set up???
