best exhaust for slammed cars
 

So did some searching and never saw an official thread on it.. just a couple blurbs here and there in some threads..

Lets say I wanted to slam the hell out of my car.. hypothetically...

I currently have the FI exhaust with CF mufflers, and can't really lower the car as much as I'd like to.. We all know even though FI the exhaust sounds awesome... the size of the cans and the clearance of them is an issue if you are lowered.

So.. what are some other options.. I'd like to get your opinions on what exhaust offers the best clearance for lowered cars...

Stock exhaust is not really an option.. :)

Anything with stacked muffler design, like Berk or Stillen will be best for a slammed car. I am sure there are others but do not remember them off the top of my head.

invidia, stillen, MXP, berk

yes...most likely those that look like the oem exhaust..
Amuse,..if I could afford it..

I got the FI system now, and it sounds AWESOME!!
I just had to raise my suspension 1/2" higher from slammed and Im ok with my driveway....around town was fine tho....depends what your needs are..

Stillen easy, not just saying that because i own one, but the muffler sits slightly higher up than the stock one did, i've gone over some mean speed bumps and never had an issue once. Not to mention you'd keep your same level of performance and get an amazing exhaust note. Berk clearance is about the same, but looks like those bad boys might not even be ready until mid-late summer, early fall. Oh, and thats for people already on the waiting list.

Oh Gene... what are you thinking of now? lol

Mr. Liquid G, are you gonna slam it like tanya's? i hate you:eekdance:

my agency power sits higher than stock im pretty sure thats if you want aggressive sound

I would say Invidia or Berk. They both sound great, are lighter than stock, gain good power, and have the clearance of a stock muffler

thanks for responses guys... just kinda thinking out loud.. not sure what I'm going to do yet but will look into those mentioned..

I don't even know what slamming a car means. Does it involve Vin Diesel?

slammed means lowered alot

Thanks!

I'm still curious if it involves Vin Diesel :p

Depends, do you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time? :ugh2:

Nah, more like one bad family movie at a time.

sorry to bump this old thread, but do you guy think and F.I will be a problem dropped on H&R springs?

You should have no Problems with H&R springs and the Fi system.

On a side note I'm having some issues of my own. What are other guys doing that are slammed to the ground? I'm on BC BR coilovers and I'm slammed. The problem I'm running into is, where my AAM short tails bolt onto the stock exhaust that bends under the rear end, it bottoms out like crazy. If I hit the smallest bumps, crown on the road, ect, its a spark show. Its really the only thing that scrapes bad. ( other than the front plastic things, those drag on everything but that's a given ). Sometimes I hit frame on really bad roads but that's rare and kinda a given for as low as the car is and living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Has anyone else ran into this? What was your solution? Only thing I can think of is making a custom exhaust that goes out and around / though the gap next to the sides of the rear end to get the exhaust up higher. If anyone else has an idea it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

mine is pretty low and am on ark dts system.
never had problem with scraping exhaust

AAM Mid pipe w/ short tails??

I might be going this route

Ya, I am wondering since I'm using the AAM short tails, which uses the stock exhaust from the Cats back to where they connect right after the rear, that's why I'm scrapping. The only part that is scrapping is the stock section that bends down and connects to the short tails. On other full cat back systems is the bend not as far down keeping them up higher than stock at that location? Or do people that are really slammed have to rework their exhaust and go out and around the rear end or something to that nature. I'm sure the guys on bags have to hit at that point when they drop. On my car it is the lowest point on the car to the ground. Just trying to get an idea. It will be getting cold here soon so it will be in the air for the winter while I figure something out. I want keep It as low as it is now without the exhaust issue.

Just take your car to a muffler shop and have them custom weld in new piping from the cats back? Or if you don't want to spend the money for all new 2.5 piping from the cats back, just replace the part where it dips down and then bolt the short tails back on.

Take a picture or two so we know what you are talking about --

Yeah, I'll try to lay under there and get one tonight when I get off work. I'm sure others have had the same issue that are really dropped. I cant see how they wouldn't. I can't really take it to a muffler shop. At least one that I know I can get on their lifts. I have to use boards I made, and drive up on them in order to get a jack even under anywhere on the car. Most likely I'll end up just doing the exhaust myself. My father and uncle have a lift that has a long extended ramp I can get on. They drag race and have two really low chassis cars and its what they use. Would be nice to see something someone else figured out as an idea so I know what has already worked.

I have the aam mid pide and feel that it is lower than stock, looks like it from the rear, but don't have any measurement and have not scraped it
