How much clearance do you have from the top of the muffler to the bottom of the bumper cutout... you know, at the 12:00 position on the cutout. I just put my FRPP duals on, and I can stick my index finger between the top of the muffler and the bumper, if I push real hard. Wondering how much clearance you have. You can't adjust the hangers, so how did they adjust yours?? Bend the hangers on the muffler?
I can put my fingers around the entire tip fairly easily all the way around. Not sure how they did it, but I am pretty sure you can adjust them by spinning the midpipes and twisting the mufflers. Basically just adjusting it to the pre-set locations it was designed for.Mine were a little crooked from me doing the install, and now they are perfectly lined up.

And thank Theresa

your car looks great, but IMO, after all the mods, it looks wayyyyy too stock.

some aftermarket parts would of been cooler, rather than making it look like just a plain jane GT....
but thats just my opinion though; it's what's your opinion that matters..

You are 100% correct. I thought the same thing. But now that it is basically stock GT looking, I can work on getting "extras". I still have to get honeycomb blackout panel, quarter window louvers, and I am considering a front chin spoiler also. I figure once I add those things it will pull it out from the crowd.

Got any other suggestions?

looks great! Crap man.... I thought you had a tune already.... If you get gears and a tune at the same time you are going to have an enormous smile on you face when you drive home from the install. It's going to be a totally differnt car.... And in a good way. I'd be excited if I were you
