[s-cars] Exhaust height clearance - Stromung?

[Robin Stoddard]

Hey Steve,

I had built a custom 2.5” dual (from down-pipe) exhaust system where after some trial and error, clearance was never an issue for me.  
I ended up having both pipes run alongside of the drive-shaft of the car just as Tom mentioned below with the Strömung system.  
It produced a great deep sound that without cats, allowed for much faster spooling of the turbo.

Cheers
Robin
