I think I have the pro springs on my car since it sits alot lower than other mustangs, and the springs are also black. But when I had the stock catback system on it, it would rattle frequently since the tailpipes were hitting something. I ended up just running dumps, but I'm going to order new exhaust soon. Do any of you have clearance issues with the above combo?

I have the same setup. I discovered that my rattling was coming from the tailpipe hanger. The pipe was vibrating against the metal under the bumper. It took a tug on the tailpipe to get it to clear the metal and all was good.

What tires do you have in the rear?

I cleared fine with 275x40x17 Kumho's and 275x55x15 MT drag radials on a 10" weld rim.

Oops, forgot about this thread. I've got stock sized tires on a 17" wheel in the rear, something's vibrating back there like I thought it would. I think it's just hitting the gas tank cover though, so I'll fix it sometime. Thanks for the help guys!
