MUFFLEX CATBACK 3 1/2" intermediate install

Trying to find out if there is enough room to install above system
in my 95 Z28. Reason: want 3" tailpipes, which few systems have.
Mufflex is one of them, but has this 3 1/2" intermediate and over the
axle pipe. Reasons for concern:

competing with: 3 1/2" alum. Driveshaft; 3 1.2" Global West
Tracklink torgue Arm and 3" intermediate pipe. Is there enough
room for another 1/2" ???
If you have a similar setup, please advise....thanks


95Z28LT1A4: Red w/Black Ttop: Full race suspension, 52mm Holley etc.
too much to list.

Well, how much clearance do you have now with the 3"? I don't see how you'll have a problem. I've got the 3.5" Mufflex and it's a bit tight between the floorpan and the ground in some spots and I did flatten it right above the axle slightly for more suspension travel (lowered 2" with stock bumpstops removed), but it doesn't come close to the driveshaft (1LE) or the UETA at all.

I had a 3.8" ACPT carbon fiber driveshaft, the Spohn (old style) torque arm and the Mufflex 4" catback...... tight fit, but it worked.
