Sportlines and Tsudo peeps chime in!!!

Im currently running tsudo catback and as many of you know the fitment is below par. The piping hangs low before it over the rear end assembly.

Im about to get springs and have sportlines in mind and i need to know if dropping that much makes the tsudo scrape?
is there issues with running the tsudo and sportlines?

Thanks in advance

not terribly low.. but it is noticeably lower

the guy i bought it from had a moderate drop on his balt with sprint springs and there are scrape marks on the piping from it (not very big ones but none the less a scrape)

so it worrys me with dropping at least another 1" from what he was running at.. im sure alot of this can be avoided with driving habits but id still like to know what people gotta say

i never liked the fitment of the tsudo. i have seen pic and it in my opinion is terrible because you can see the whole pipe by the rear axel.
heres my chip in. i have the GMPP exhaust and everyone knows how big the resonator is. im dropped on sportlines and i have to watch speedbumps and low inclines and stuff because i have scraped before

I got a Tsudo, no sportlines though. I think you'd be fine, because realistically there's probably **** in the front of the car that hangs lower. You know how there's a flat black plastic thing on the bottom of your front bumper (I think you're LS/LT if I remember correctly)? I don't think the Tsudo hangs lower than that, if not you'll be fine.

true... good points, i just thought of the low area on the exhaust and got kinda worried.. its not going to stop me from getting the springs but id still like to hear if anyone has had issues.

Do it. I know a guy with the Tsudo on Pedders and he never had an issue.

pedders dont drop much at all compared to sportlines though.. i bought my tsudo from a guy with sprint springs so i know that with a minor drop its fine.. id imagine it goes the same for a big drop but we shall see i guess.

just figuring ill ask and see if anyones out there

It all depends on where and how you drive. You might scrap on a speed bump or two but just drive with caution and you should be fine.
