For anyone running a tsudo exhaust on their 2.2, does it hang uncomfortably low? I'm debating on buying one of those ebay N1 style that are pretty much the same system and comparing them. I bought the tsudo for 250 and these ebay ones are half the price. I wouldn't be shocked if these ebay ones hug the body perfectly unlike the tsudo should.

Out of box and by experience, the MagnaFlow is high and snug to the body with adequate bumper clearance. Be advised that the plumbing is only 2 1/4. My ark is low, and the flange scrapes sometimes, but I love the sound.

Yeah, figured I'd add that since I didn't know what size he was looking to go with.

My tsudo is 2.36". I love the sound, but walking towards the car and seeing an elbow ready to scrape makes me cringe. I plan on lowering so that'll hide it, but make it more vulnerable.

I'm on yyz and in the winter the car is the lowest of all year due to my tires. I have no issues of pipe scraping, but the resonator flange to the downpipe likes to make a scrape every once in a while, though my sway bar is the lowest point of the car underneath.

They are attached to the axle beam so they won't get any closer to the road no matter what, it would only scrape if you drove over a large rock

True. It raises when the tires go over bumps.

For the money, yes. It's virtually the same design as the Powell bar. It is bolt and play. I am happy with my purchase, and it's been on for 3 years now.

Is the bar noticeable from behind? I'm planning on getting one and powdering it yellow

One of my most hated traits about the LS, body roll.

Mine will be pretty much maxed out after I get the control arms rebuilt and the rear trailing arm bushings. Then I'll build the motor. Still on the fence on hub swap and brakes.

I was kicking around the idea of a 5 lug swap. I'm pretty fond of those g6 wheels.
