** custom exhaust help **
Bought the manga flow tru x-pipe 12468 to mellow down my exhaust a little bit, ( manzo lts-no cats to regular x-pipe then straight piped to solos. Problem is 2 shops I went to are saying I’ll have a figment issue trying to put the 12468 where the x-pipe is in the tunnel brace, anyone else have any insight? Also say ground clearance is a problem? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
14153 is what I have in mine. Cost a pretty penny to have done, but the fit is great and the sound is exactly what I wanted.Originally Posted by jordanjhines
I don't know that a random quick fix exhaust shop would be where I'd take it. I ended up using a shop that fabricates full exhausts, cages, headers, etc.

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

do you have any clearance issues at all, the 12468 is what a lot of people use, might have to take it to a full exhaust shop
Mine will hit the tunnel brace on a bump, if I removed the brace itd be silent. As it rests, it's 1/2" above the BMR brace I've got. No contact on regular driving.
Its more work than the 468 because mine is a single in/out and required some metal work more than just welding it in.

You will be fine. Just find a good shop.
I shortened up a 5x11 and layed it above the brace.
I would recommend them making a hanger in that are so you don't have the problem like stl has.

I welded a magnaflow 12468 onto my stock exhaust, I removed the brace and ran without it for a few years, no issues. I only scraped the muffler a handful of times and only after I lowered it and only in parking garages or on speed bumps.
