Those with Long Tubes

[mynameismike65]

I am looking at picking up a used set of JBA longtubes and o/r H...my question is how far down do they hang (collectors) my car isnt lowered, but my driveway is horrible . any pics or numbers are appreciated. Sorry if this isnt tech, but I think it is lol. here is a reference of my driveway.

These pics are with the rear "lowered" 3/4"....the car is a stock at the moment

I have pypes brand so they may be different but what hits sometimes for me is the hf cats. I had them placed after the h pipe, which is right about the low point in your pic.

are you on stock springs? do you have any pics by chance?

Here's all you see of mine from the side and that's actually a pic taken lower than the side of the body.. No cats either

 

[mynameismike65]

hmmm.....so I should be ok?

Couldn't say for sure but MINE wouldn't rub the cement if it didn't already from the looks of that pic.

What happens to the clearance if you enter and leave at an angle?

I'm pretty sure JBA cats tuck under the frame rail.

On a side note, you might be better off investing in a jackhammer for that driveway.

Lol believe me I have thought of everything to fix that driveway. But yeah Im looking at a catless setup so Im not concerned with the cats, more the collectors.

Eeek with a driveway like that Id be looking at macs, pypes, or kooks.

I misread. Yeah, the JBA's don't hang below. I kinda regret not getting them because there are some speedbumps in town that I have to avoid.

I know that feeling. My side exhaust is a pain in the butt.

i've been driving with them in germany for almost 2 years with no issues... i even hop curbs sometimes and still have no problem. a lot of it is how you drive too

Kooks longtubes here and never had a scraping issue.You cant even see them when looking under the car.

 

[mac10chap]

i have a steep driveway and Jba l/t's and o/r h pipe and my frame will get scuffed before the L/t's do.

 

[Mach1Run]

pypes LT with cats on stock springs, no more issues than stockl exhuast.

 

[808muscle]

Op......I am all stock suspension.

 

[RedFire07GT]

Never had an issue with my Kooks LTs hitting. When i didnt have LTs and i had a bassani midpipe, the clamps would hit the concrete of my driveway ramp... Just turned them up and i was fine.


Like others are telling you, my kooks dont hang low at all...

JBA's tuck in really nicely. I have a driveway very similair to yours, lowered 1.5" and have yet to scrape the headers. BTW they sound great with the JBA X Pipe and Borla axle back.
