Longtubes on a lowered 99-04

[jrc_03_gt]

I thinking about getting mac ceramic longtubes on my 03 gt. I have lowered my car about 1.5 inches and my mach 1 chin spoiler almost hits when I drive over the curb to get into my driveway. Will loungtubes hang down lower than the k member??? Anyone have pictures with longtubes and the prokit springs on their car????

Yeah i think they will hang lower than the K. I know my friend with an 02 GT bottomed out and blew a hole in his LT headers from road debris once. And that was with a 1.25" drop from his Eibach Pro-Kit Springs

During my BBK LT header install, we had to notch the lower k-member brace.

I have the Eiback prokit springs and it's not too bad (compared to H&R SS springs). I'm not as worried about the headers, but when I go over speed bumps, the cats are the first to rub...

my BBK fits fine with out any probrem. Shaft for the steering cleared, and K cleared. I haven't yet to scrape BBK with 2" lowering, and frankly, I don't think it doesn't hang any lower then any other set up i had.

the midpipe hangs lower than the collectors usually.

just go slow over speedbumps, or if need be, at an angle.

Hmm, my LTs are the first thing to hit . I believe they are the lowpoint in the exhaust. I think because we had to weld up my DR Gas X, that allowed us to really tuck everything up nice and tight.

I know if I got to fast over a speed bump if anything hits, its either the flage on the LTs or the collector itself .

The prochamber hits more than the LT's. I have steeda springs with 1.5" drop. I only hit on big speed bumps and only if I'm going over them too fast. I say get them. The gains are worth it.

Which longtubes do you have?

 

[hotmustang331]

^BBK Ceremics. They are good quality LTs IMO. Probably not as good as SLP or Kooks, but they do the job and look nice . They are tucked up nicely too...any closer to the floor pan, and it would probably burn something lol.

I've got the BBK LT's with the steeda sport springs lowered about 1.25" and I have scraped them on a few speed bumps. the one at work, i've gotta go decently slow in 1st...it's stupid it's there anyway. i've only scraped maybe 3 times though.
my bf scraped his mufflers on our driveway if he's not very careful...

Good to hear because those are the LT's i'll be getting this summer. Any signs of rust or the coating wearing off?

 

[hotmustang331]

Yea but ONLY rust...and its just SUPER LIGHT surface rust right at the collector (cant see it from the engine bay...look BRAND new from there). But oddly enough, the rust wipes right off when you use some pressure . I think its like the rust is just growing on itself, and not actually doing anything to the LTs.

here is a picture of mine with pro springs and mac lts, I have only scraped over big speed bumps twice in 1 year. Oh well I couldn't find the picture, but I came accross this one
