Exhaust v1.2. I wasn't happy with how loud it turned out despite the mufflers. I'm sure the 3" exhaust isn't quieting it down at all, but the mufflers are Borla Pro XS which are supposed to be a "quieter" muffler. So, I added a inline chambered muffler from Remco which toned it down a bit. It sounds less like a dumpy bass drum now. The reason for the 3" is that I plan on going turbo next year and figured I'd set myself up for it.

I’m including another article by Huibert Mees. In this article he explains why lowering a car even 1” can have substantially negative effects. All things I have said for decades as well as here recently. The one thing that is not touched upon is lowering the CG without lowering the car!! What happens then? I explain this in my member's post, last Indian, a ground pounder build. The short version is there are ways to move weight & add weight all below CG. When this is done correctly this lowers the CG in a good way without impacting roll centers or suspension travel! And in doing so you may be able to move weight in such a manner like I did to affect weight distribution as well, depending on how you do it. https://www.theautopian.com/heres-how-lowering-a-car-can-ruin-its-handling/
