Want to go lower........ but exhaust is stopping me !!!

[nichy]

Hey All , so on the quest to get my ke70 dumped as i have a few sets of rear springs and adj coilovers in the front.

ATM im sitting at 80mm from crossmember to ground. just hits exhaust on speedhump's if going super slow and mad angle haha

have been thinking about making another exhaust to go along the tunnel...... but just thinking about clearance issues with t/shaft

anyone got pic's or is this a common thing to do ? lol

note: yes i know the legal limit a car has to be

cheers Nichy

make out of rhs to go next to chassis rail or if you are making your own, heat it up and bash into an oval.
solid mount to chassis for maximum effect

good mate of mine went RHS exhaust on his sr20 mx73 and it had heaps of clearance and didnt sound half bad!

[lolwat]

oval would be better for flow, get your exhuast tucked right up near the floor, my ke is decked(was lower cause of 13's) and my trailing arm mounts hit anything before exhuast did

[sundee]

hammer it and you will most probably adversely affect the flow,
if you tuck it up as close to the floor pan as you can, then run it up as close to the tail shaft as you can, you can actually get the exhaust sitting above the bottom of the rails , i ran a string line underneath, across the car as a guide and it can be done no worries.

why would the exhaust be the lowest point in the car? there's heaps of room for something under there

3" system and still not the lowest point

[lolwat]

this thread is LOL

[jakel]

Mine does the same but i'm not too concerned because if I hear anything else scraping its not good, haha :)

[Rice86]

Why need more low?

[nichy]

NEED.... NAH DONT NEED TO.... WANT.

just a bit of stuffing around .

think exhaust in the tunnel is the way to go

cheers Guys. will post pic's up

Exh in tunnel = hot transmission. Best to make heat shields or atleast wrap it.

[sundee]

? ummm i think the tranny makes enough heat of its own

yeah the trans would get hot as anyways , just enough in the tunnel to get it above the rails

[Sam-Q]

it doesn't go even close to the trans??
