From what I've seen so far in pictures only, the ground clearance may actually be reduced w/ the long tube version. I am getting one to gain some room at the end of the tranny where the stock arm mounts. Hopefully that will give me enough room to stick in a second cat...hopefully.

 

Yeah, I'm really liking the Spohn because of the way it mounts, but it's worrying me a little because of how low my car is going to sit, the way the front of the TA mounts takes away even more ground clearance.
