BJ,
I'm assuming you're talking about this thread? I don't really think it's *that* low and what I'd be tempted to do if they hit the subframe is maybe clearance them a little bit with a pursuader.
But 215 from this guy or $150 (!!!) from this guy is almost too good to pass up. I dunno, I'm torn. On one hand, custom downpipes would be cheap, and would be guaranteed to fit. on the other hand, it's ugly, the flow can't be that great, and if I'm going to put headers on this car, NOWNOWNOW is the time for me to do it, while the damn thing is OUT.
I mean, seriously, 150 dollar headers? Who cares if they scrape? And like you said, while I'm down there (since I need to weld the rest anyway) I could certainly angle the pipe a little and have it come out higher.
