Now THIS is fuel economy!!! Melb to Sydney Trip Standard exhaust = Full tank and a half of fuel Pacemakers, Hiflo and 2.5" = One Full Tank!!! I kid you not. Definately awesome fuel economy.

generally when they do an exhaust for a lower car (more importantly with extractors etc) then they try to get it sitting closer to the underside of the car to avoid scraping.
you'll notice that the cat converters take a beating on lowered cars and sometimes the mufflers, a lot of the time the cat can't be raised (due to flange heights) but the muffler can be tucked up a tad more. occasionally the section over the diff is a tiny bit different too to avoid it hitting anything there. its very dependtant on the car, you may get away with it when lowered just see what happens. Cat back pricing can vary a lot MAINLY due to the exhaust tip. its amazing how expensive a good tip costs. me myself, well i don't mind the fact that my car scrapes on stuff. i love hearing people go "OOHHHHHHH OUCH" when i drive in a driveway and almost leave my front and rear bars behind my quality fabrication skills have ensured they're still attached ;)

***Sorry to get off topic***
Ive got a similar setup to Tims new one and his is a great deal louder than mine, tims told me he has no resonator and i do. Would that be the difference considering ive got extractors as well? Also is it illeagle to not have a resonator ?? Paul |

its not illegal to have no res, but issue is it may be too loud to be legal.
you may find that Tim's is still illegaly loud.
