Just a tip for you guys, the ARK grip always tends to have some clearance issues, even at stock height sometimes. If you decide on going lower the sagging canisters are going to scrape all over the place ,but i have to agree its a great quality product from a great company !

I have the ATK coilovers and haven't had any issues. Also when they development the Grip for the FRS they made it to be center with the rear wheels so that any time you have to go over a speed bump or dip the exhaust will clear the object by rising with the rear tires. So even if it looks low it shouldnt scratch or dip, just think of it like the rear axles (they won't bottom out)

I am on RCE Yellows (drop is moderate around an inch) and I have no clearance issues. I was worried about that after I put it on and saw how low the canisters and center flange looked. I have never scraped.

Yes I have an automatic. The test pipe is the manual only part.

I drive in manual mode on the way home from work. When you drive the normal auto mode if you hit the sport button it holds the RPM's higher and it sounds nice.

What exactly was the procedure to properly line up the exhaust tips if you don't mind?
