TTI 3", Got it all in and it does fit but man the clearances are really tight. We are talking 1/4" or less to the floor and drive shaft, so hopefully nothing moves.

The only mod I really had to make is I cut about 1" off the tail pipes, the tips stuck through the tail panel more then I liked.

Looks pretty close to the floor in that one picture. Looks like it will rattle to me? :dunno:

It is all close to the floor, probably about 1/4", but it is very solid and doesn't move. The car is not driveable yet so I can't say for sure, but I can lower it some if needed.

Great source for customizing your exhaust!
I've used them a lot!

Beautiful car, but the wheels on cement blocks is a real "man killer."
One block cracking/crumbling could start a chain reaction and
bring the whole thing down on one's bod!

I really recommend the reproduction hangers if your car didn't come with dual exhaust originally.  The first place I did my exhaust just drilled a bolt into my trunk floor.  Over time that just ripped out and the pipe would bang around when I really got on it.   Put in the reproduction hanger with the TTI ceramic headers, x cross over and stainless 3 inch pipes ending with stainless tips.

1/4" will probably not cut it, especially when you put the pedal to the metal, and the whole
car twists and shifts its weight from the power, a good bump in the road, or hard braking! A good torque strap
may help. You can buy a smaller diameter high alloy drive shaft too.

Even if not moving, the hot exhaust pipes will expand, and change clearances quite a bit.

I might have to do some tweaking after I get it driving. Just wanted to maximize ground clearance and go from their, it can move down if need be.

Whenever I install a TTI system, I always get rid of all those ugly clamps and replace them with nice stainless band clamps. Place the bolts on the topside and you get an ultra clean appearance. :2cents:

I have a 3" system to install later this month on a factory Hemi Charger :burnout:

Ya I was kinds disapointed that for the price of the system they don't give you all band clamps, only 2 come with it

I know I just spent another $100 on seven stainless band clamps for the Charger's H-pipe system
