Here is the deal though, for the few sales that I might lose here and there it is not worth it to change the design. Everyone loves it and their isnt another system on the market that performs better. So far only a few have commented on the mufflers being low. Where they are in relation to the tires, allows them to crest over speed bumps as the rear part of the tires are reaching the top of the bump. Hopefully that made sense. I understand your concern and I am sorry that we cannot have your business. I am glad though that our design is different because everyone elses system looks the same. One more thing to touch on, Stock or lowered, the front bumper will always be more of an issue than our mufflers...
Thanks, Tony

The issue of ground clearance is what's also got me on the fence about this too.
3.5" isn't a lot of room. If I get coilovers, it'll drop a bit too, even though that's not my intended goal. I don't know about the roads in other areas, but, around here, they aren't all that great.
I've basically become a deer in headlights on this issue (which catback) - Stillen is what I was going to do, but this shows more promise performance-wise...but I don't know which one really sounds better....
Then I start thinking of which cats (berk or FI), to header or not to header...then to turbo or supercharge, or not...if I turbo or supercharge, then the rest of that is basically wasted money.
So...yeah, I'm not doing anything for now...lol
Which begs the question - why didn't F.I. use a tapered muffler design on the inlet side?
