3 inch exhaust and ground clearance


Cobalt60

Recommended Posts

My exhaust deteriorated off, cat-back. So, I think the flange connector is still good, and I think the 3" SS exhaust available will bolt right up and I'll have a good working exhaust system. Im just a little concerned about ground clearance. Especially since the place I work requires me to drive over like 4 or 6 speed bumps, twice a day. Though, I think my current exhaust is hanging, and I havent heard it scrape...

 

Lemme know if I should be worried about denting up that new cat-back.

 

Thanks

Mine has never hit anything and most people think it hangs low. Scotty Gibb called it out at the last Branson meet, he knew who made it. My car is a bit lower than stock, about 3 degrees of camber lower, but you have to work out how much that is.

his screename is jolyrgrjr here on the boards.

 

The 2.5" systems are available in aluminized and 409 stainless, and go from the turbo all the way out the back of the car (no muffler). The 3" is available in 409 stainless only (for the time being) and start off with a 2.5" connection, expanding to 3" immediately to facilitate a full gasket seal to the turbo, as well as allowing for better access to the attachment nuts, eliminating the blown gaskets many have experienced on other systems due to thin flange contact and loose bolts/nuts. Both systems were designed from scratch, using experienced performance exhaust techs familiar with the needs of forced induction cars/trucks. These were created to be fully driveway installable, and even the greenest of shade-tree mechanics should be able to knock it out in an afternoon.

 

Here is a link to some of the first systems mounted...

Off-road pipe and flex section are included, and a magnaflow 3" catalytic converter can be had for an easy swap from street to strip set-up.

 

2.5" aluminized can be had for $290+shipping ($30 or less to most US destinations). $100 for stainless upgrade and $135 for magnaflow catylitic converter.

 

3" stainless pricing to follow.

 

Post or PM any questions.
