Default side exhaust question

anyone make a side exhaust besides cervinis. I have cervinis but it is just too dang low. I was scraping on every speed bump. I ended up cracking the side tips so I had to take them off. plus with long tubes they are way loud. sounds cool but my neighbors hate it.

Yep, blow by blow (ronaele) is the only other side exhaust available as far as I know.
It's quite a bit more expensive than the Cervini's.

Both are low and when you exit out the side (unless you punch a hole out of each side past the door openings near each rear tire like the GT-R concept) that is the only way around the low exhaust. Increase the tire diameter and put the stock springs in and it will help greatly. Or go back to exiting out the back. Both companies knew this was a problem and advertise as such (ex-Cervinis quotes how high off the ground with springs in place). This is why roush did not make their own on the new S197's. Common but not new problem...sorry

There are so many exhaust design problems with the S197, it's not even funny.

thanks for the input guys. I guess I'll call cervini's to see how much a new tip would be. I might try to put the stock springs on just the rear and see how it would look.
