Got the Magnaflow system installed yesterday. Dual exhaust with a true-X pipe and 2.5" stainless pipes. I just have to add the turn down dumps and it will be all done.

Checked my rear clearances today.......boy was I glad I spent a bunch of time centering the differential perfectly.

3/8" clearance on each side. Rims are 18x10, 2" lowering, tire is a 275/35/18

Finally got the car back on the ground today after getting brakes bled, rough alignment done, and all the bolts checked. I had to set the coilovers at the top to get the equal ride height with the 2" front drop Hotchkis springs. Pretty happy with everything. Lot's of delays waiting for bushings and getting custom braided brake lines done but at least it is finished.

you might try a small spacer on the rear wheels. im not postive but i would think that you might encounter some rub issues when your rear articulates i just went through this.. other wise it looks killer!

Thanks for the input. Once I got the coilovers on and the height set, I look to have gained a little. I probably have about 1/2" clearance on each side on the inside now and I don't think I could even do a 1/4" spacer to bring the rim out without cutting the lips back a little.

Looks great man....if it rubs you can add an 1/8 to 1/4 spacer. You won't know until you get into some real agressive cornering. Make sure and play with the shock settings because they make a ton of difference.
