Side Exhaust - 5/11/2008 12:07:36 AM    LiLRage28   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/10/2008 Status: offline Hey guys this is my 1st time posting on here and a little new at it. I got an 05' GT black on black 5spd just installed my Hurst short throw love it and Cirvini's C-side exhaust but side exhaust Fin scrappes off everything and I also have the car lowered, yea I know show of been exspected. Did anyone lower there stang with the Cirvini's side exhaust and do 20's and not scrap and mind you I live in Pittsburgh PA land of pot holes and uneven roads. Let me know, and if I should put the stock springs back on?? Post #: 1

I welded skid plates on my exhaust so they will last longer. I think you could get by with using a taller tire and not scraping. The 20 's I dont think matter as much because it is just the fills the hole in the tire. The height of the tire stays somewhat the same when they swap from 17.18 to 20. Check with the Tire guys listed in tire and rim questions. Another thing that has helped is a stronger strut ans shock combo. keeps from bouncing the exhaust down. If its a daily driver and you cant avoid the potholes and steep drivways   well ya gotta do what ya gotta do.  The damn exhaust just wont go up any higher! good luck in your attempts. _____________________________ Hey YB NORMAL-?

It will be monday before I can show you pics. Sorry....I figured it will save my pipe and hangers a little and give it more of a flat surface to hit.  that way you can weld it on a bench then slide it back on pipe and reattach the dual tip. The nut of the band is on top or angled slightly down. OK here are a couple pics  with flash on? thats why it looks so rocky Attachment (2) < Message edited by ybnormal -- 5/12/2008 7:58:16 PM > _____________________________ Hey YB NORMAL-?

It dosnt keep it from hitting but seems to help on limiting damage. Good luck to all _____________________________ Hey YB NORMAL-?
