Does anyone know besides the stock catback, what other catbacks will provide ample clearance space for a Maximum Motorsports Panhard Rod? My Magnapacks have been slightly modified to clear it but its very close to certain parts still and going over bumps and everything just makes my car sound like a clunker.

I would just dump the exhaust, thats probably what I am going to do when I get my panhard bar. Just go out and pick up a v6 bumper.

Flowmaster, Dynomax I've read fit.

Or, like Silverbullet said, dump the exhaust. I removed my tailpipes after the muffler on my Bassani system, but have yet to find a V6 bumer.

when you say dump the exhaust I'm guessing you mean remove the catback....does it really sound better? and I'll just have the midpipe opening open underneath? will the excessive heat where it'll come out the midpipe affect anything, and I'm guessing I won't pass inspection without a catback....

not remove the catback, but cut the tailpipes, and make them turndown towards the ground.

It's either a hit or miss with Flowmaster, but I've seen a car with Dynomax with AMPLE of clearance.

My Bassani fits but it could have a little more clearance. It might be because Bassani bends the tubing for the frame mount for MM.

Interesting, because there was NO way my SS pipes would fit.
