Spent the afernoon fabbing up the exhaust for the S13. Basically got it finished from the headers to the dif but wanted to see if my amount of clearance was on par with everyone elses. I've got a whooping 2-inches between the pavement and the lowest part of my system which is the actual muffler. I realize there are variables so here is my setup.

Tein S-techs ~1.5 in of drop3 in exhaust tubing into a Magnaflow x pipe muffler (22Lx11wx5 thick)

Whats everyone else getting for clearance?

I don't have much more than that and it hasn't been a problem so far. Just tuck it up as far as you can when you go under the diff.

I should be able to get it a bit higher with a slight adjustment to the under body panels with my big ole hammer.

is that a shortened wheelbase s14, or a mini conversion lol. That pic is awesome, clearly im aware that the resize made it look weird but awesome pic none the less.
