Actua after Installing a few it's just as low as a stock exhaust. I was really surprised to see how much clearance it has.

Might be but Calvin's car is slammed and having the turbine and piping in the rear that low is asking for a problem at some point.

Yeah, that has been something that I've been thinking of is how low it hung from the car. But I've been told by Jamaica that it doesn't hang as low it's actually as low as the stock exhaust system itself. I'm still going to do a bit more research, my exhaust now hangs pretty low . I don't really have much problems with it hitting or scraping so I should probably be fine with the STS if it is the same as the stock exhaust!
If I do go with this build, more likely my car won't be slammed anymore haha.
No point being slammed anymore if I can't drive the car to it's full potential with the kit =) haha

Haha you're welcome to go to Speedelement !

For body work I go to TNT AutoBody in Sacramento
For parts I go to Speedelement in Fremont !

Thanks for the fast reply

My question is, why not go to one shop for all purpose? I ask because I had a car accident yesterday with my Z, my driver side wheel is crooked, I was not able to drive straight while holding the steering wheel normally, and that would be a car body problem. After that accident I told myself might as well put on amuse bumper instead of getting another OEM one, and that's considered "parts".

So do you recommend me to go to sac fix my car up then hit up fremont for the bumper?


Thanks for your time really haha

One pipe should be the turbine exit (exhaust) and the other should be a atmospheric wastegate dump tube. The left tail pipe will only flow when the wastegate hits it spring pressure, or if there is a boost controller, whatever the boost controller is set to.

The Intake is tucked up high near the back bumper

haha, if you want you can order your parts before you do anything, but amuse kit takes about 3 months or so to get here if it's not in stock.
