Sorry man, but the car is still up on jacks and blocks waiting for me to grind on the tranny-brace so that the y-pipe will fit. If it wasn't such a PITA to lower and jack it up again I'd do it, but all 4-corners are about 2' off the ground and it took me about 40 minutes to get it up that high safely. I had planned on finishing things up today (Sunday) but something came up and my wife and I are heading out of town in about 2 hours. I won't be able to finish things now until I'm off work on next Wednesday. Sorry man, but I gotta keep her up on blocks until I finish the install.

Later this evening when I get home I'll try to lay a straight-edge across both jack-pads and measure the "drop" of both collectors from that point. I think this is what you're after anyway. If it's not, it'll have to wait until Wednesday.

That's basically what I'm after, just a measurement of the drop from the jackpad to the bottom of the collector.

Then I can measure from my jack pad to the floor, and that will tell me roughly the clearance for my headers...

It will work even with your car on jackstands.

LWillmann, I just measured from the floor-pan to the bottom of the collector. This will give you an approximate idea about clearances.

Driver-side, floor-pan to bottom of collector: 4 3/4"
Pass-side, heat-shielding to bottom of collector (see pic): 6 3/8"

Here's the pics for proof:

Thanks a TON here man!

With your measurements of that and the ride height you did a while back for me, it's been a big help!

Now I have to see if I'm going to have ground clearance without raising the front end some...
