I'd probably have to use the stock thermostat and disconnect or block off the oil cooler during Winter if I lived up North.

How many inches of clearance do you have between the ground and the bottom of that splitter? Any concerns destroying it when driving the car on the street?

Including the vanes on the bottom right about 4 inches.

Yes. I barely cleared the ramps on the lift backing it out and didn't scrape anything driving home 25 miles mostly highway over neighborhood speed humps and several undulations but I do think I will raise the ride height a tad more not just for clearance but because during a 95mph test run on a closed road it felt like the splitter was an inch off the ground. It probably wasn't but I could definitely feel the nose hunker down; dampers are also set to be nearly full soft. The extra height should allow more travel to compensate for the aero effect at 130mph.

Sunday Funday hanging out with @Bg8780 and @Slysdexia at OLOBA

4.5" of ground clearance from the bottom of the splitter after raising the ride height a bit. Much less risky.















Thanks @eric6 for the shoutout!

Awesome product and looking forward to the AOS

Front pipe.
Or maybe a drive shaft, but dimensions seem wrong for that.

  • 2.5" 304 stainless steel construction
  • Twin mini sport rear mufflers
  • True Y-pipe split
  • 4.5" OD polished tips
  • 18" resonator to keep drone & tone correct
  • Hollow exhaust hangers for weight reduction
  • Mandrel bent for smooth exhaust flow
  • 3 piece construction for easy bolt-on
  • Unparalleled fabrication quality
  • Excellent fitment
  • Maximum ground clearance in mind












Driveway Labs Type 1 diffuser clearance with tips.



It sounds AMAZING. Perfect tone. Zero rasp/drone. LOUD, but not too loud for tracks with sound limits. Extremely satisfied.

Sound clips soon.

But in all seriousness, looks damn nice. Surprised you aren't running 3" out.

I know several owners that have ran 3" while naturally aspirated with a catless header and/or front pipe and have ended up hating the obnoxious volume it allows.

Guess I need to rethink the 3" option.
