Those with Sportlines, what exhaust?

I'm thinking of going with 2.5" duals to watch clearance. What is everyone else running with their Sportlines?

Dont have duels but I am running GMMG with my sprtlines with no problems. Which is 3" so the 2.5" should have plenty of clearance.

duals will work just fine. The 3" Y I have right now drags quite a bit with stock ride height...

Hey Doug did you figure the weight diff. with your fat *** sitting in the car ? That's sure to make the car drag with the sportlines.

You might be better off with something like Hotchkis or BMRs. They only claim to lower an inch.

Alright, thanks. I will check into that. I have about 4 inches of ground clearance from the LTs from the ground now, and I think my driver side springs are worn out. So I should have around 3 or 2 inches of ground clearance afterwards?
