in your case i can see why you´d object.. but or your chassis (AM) the roll-center in the rear is so well controlled and low set with the rear UCA´s mounted where they are.. but when upgrading anything on a car my philposophy has always been to get it as good in the first go as is possible...

and the point of exhaust room on a cuda -that with a fair degree of certainty will have exhaust exiting before the rear wheels... isnt a sure seller.

I kind of wanted to use the lower rear facia with exhaust thru it...Is that going to be possible with the Lateral Dynamics stuff??? They say you can, but I have not seen a LD car yet the rear exiting exhaust....

Now when we have XV motorsport on market i would choose their stuff over everything i have heard or seen sofar. I believe they have invested a lot for testing and R&D of their products.

Got it ?

I had no issue running a complete mandrel bent 3" exhaust system exiting at the back of the car with the Lateral Dynamics 3-Link. The rear crossmember is even notched for clearance. Steve Rupp is likewise running a full exhaust system. It's not much more difficult with the LD setup than any other rear suspension.

Yea, I could have ran 3-inch if had wanted to but the 2.5 was perfect for the size of my engine.

There's plenty of room if the exhaust fabricator has some talent.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys, and the interest from all of you. I owe the thread a response, and I will get to it hopefully before the weekend is over with some relevent info. No time to type more right now.

Cheers,
