X-Pipe Ground Clearance ?s

[03zincyellowsvt]

I have an SLP Catted x-pipe and it hangs so low that it scrapes on just about everything, i have H&R race springs but i have the MM spring isos so its not like my car is slammed, i'm constantly under it fixing exhaust leaks and i hate it! My question is which O/R x-pipe has the most ground clearance or tucks up underneath the car the best?

Thanks in Advance Guys!!:beer:

DO NOT get a Dr. Gas, that SOB scrapes EVERYTHING

I have a UPR x-pipe and it doesnt hang much lower than the stock H-pipe

Me too - hangs down a little, and you might get scrapage here and there, but it fits nicely.

Of course, my car is not lowered..so..... :shrug:

slp is the worst, the cats scrape on everything, any midpipe you get will be an improvement. If you dont have cats and midpipe should fit without scraping

got a upr catted xpipe and my car is lowered. i cant be happier with the fit compared to the slp.

I got the SLP and it scrapes bad! I'm lowered but not that much. I saw a thread a while back where someone on here had a section cut out and welded back together. Pics had it tucked up there nice afterwards...I may try to have that done or get a bassani or magnaflow w/cats.

I hate to get rid of it cause I love the sound of my exhaust and I dont want it to change significantly. Does anybody know which X-pipe fits the best as far as ground clearance between the magnaflow or bassani?

i think i might get a upr o/r pipe prolly cuz its cheaper

I'm gonna have mine worked on by a custom exhaust guy. I dont want to drop $400-$600 on another catted x. I'll post before and after pics if anybody is interested.

just ordered the upr o/r pipe the slp one will be for sale as soon as it comes off, if for some reason anyone wants one cheap

You did good, UPR fits up there tight. I got rid of my MRT because it hung so low.

 

[venomous99]

yeah dont let upr prices discourage u...theyre cheap cuz they're aluminized pipes/not SS but theyre worth the money. the fit is as best as they come.

as long as it fits tight that all i care about i think i can deal w/ the aluminized stuff if it fits right, besides whats the point of having a nice ss peice if its just gonna get all f#$ked up draggin on the ground

Good point!

I got mine back today after having a guy cut it up a bit. Looks like I got about 3/4" more ground clearance so I'm pretty happy. Plus he welded the cats on and removed the shitty clamps. I can tell a difference in the sound as I think they were leaking before.

Cost me $120 so I am happy. I like the sound of the SLP and I didnt want to risk not being happy with another x-pipe. And drop the xtra cash!

Here is a pic of the cat after the cut/weld job. Approx 2.5" of clearance now on the drivers side cat which hangs lower. Alot more room on pass side.
