Especially if I end up using coilovers.
Ah, I understand now. You know, I was comparing pics of the FI with the ARK, and I was about to say that there's no real difference between the height of the flanges of both designs. But then I went back and replayed ARK's video, and I'm not so sure I agree that the flanges are the lowest point. It might just be the camera angle, but it looks to me like the front edge of the mufflers actually sit a little lower, and that's probably due to having to make room for the extra resonator / backpressure tube up top.
