I will be honest, the SVO skirts and side exhaust is cool and all, But with a car as slammed as mine it would be a waste of time that shit would touch down everywhere and get ruined. Honestly it is not a smart idea for usability of the car if you plan to give it a decent stance.

LMAO Stephen. My experience with the SVO skirts is that I have not scraped the skirts once. I can go over speed bumps, and have no difficulty manuevering into steep parking lots. If anything I scrape my cobra front more than anything else.

And you KNOW my car is slammed, hell I could go lower if I wanted to mysteed's setup, the bbk springs...

lol, i'm being 100% serious stephen. I don't scrape. Every once in awhile, sure, I get the occasional scrape on the cats, but I had that long before the side skirts.

To keep this on topic. Sell the wheels get the DD Bullits back, get sideskirts and a side exit exhaust. THen your car will become one of my favorites.

Mine isn't tucked as good as it could be and I only scrape the flanges on speed bumps.

I love this:

side exit is good for making people next to you angry

especially if you have a very dirty exhaust system, or diesel lol

thats as far as ill go

there are a few mustangs around here with it, its pretty cool, but like everyone has said, it needs side skirts.

it looks awkward without them in my opinion

I loved the sound mine made! @ 1st I had my IMCO mufflers on it. I then bought the Borla set-up w/the SVO side pipe covers. It sounded good, very quiet for the way I drive. It sounds great @ WOT though. I never, if ever, drive that way though. I then went back to my 1st way.

Ooh, when you drive by a wall/passing car/just anything so the sound bounces off of it. That's just awesome!!

I had to back onto the lifter @ my mechanic's with it on. I just had the side exit exhaust on mine. It never even got close to dragging when I drove around! My town has some really crappy roads, too!

It won't change the sound. If you get the same muffler you currently have but in side exit it won't change the sound one bit. It'll just be a bit louder in the cabin :)

I've never scraped my skirts. I've gotten my car up onto a hydraulic lift with no problem. You will need a low profile jack, similar to the one's the American Le Mans Series uses.
