Which cat-back has the most ground clearance?

[Carisma•FR]

I live in NYC and road condition here is horrible with potholes and bumps everywhere. Recently I hit a big ditch on the highway and totally destroyed the tail section of my Apexi N1 :( Now I'm looking for an exhaust system that'll gives the highest ground clearance possible. Most ppl recommented the Greddy DD, I checked Jspec, Phase2 and they don't have it in stock....Is there any other alternatives I can consider?

Thanks in advance.

that was my main requirement when I got my exhaust for the same reasons you mentioned. Don't crappy roads and high driveways suck? argh!

anyways, I researched this a ton, and I came up with:
- GoZigen Rocket (icky)
- GReddy DD (this is what I ended up getting)
- GoZigen Fireball
- Blitz Nur Spec (I think this hangs the lowest of the group)
(listed from highest ground clearance to lowest)

Hope that help you out. The rocket is the cheapest, then the fireball, then DD and Nur Spec (tho the Nur spec if full stainless! NICE!)

Hope that helps you out.

edit: I forgot to mention the N1 Dual hangs quite a bit higher than the single, it prolly fits between the nur spec and fireball as far as ground clearance. I feel for ya on the N1, it hangs REALLY low :/

Thanks of your input Yoshi! it's very helpful!

I just got a call back from my mechanic he told me my T25 housing is cracked due to the impact when my N1 hits the ground. ARRRRRGGGG!! I hate NYC streets! Now not only I need a new cat-back I also need another turbo to make my car runs again!!!

I know the DD is good for low-mid range power, if I'm going for a bigger turbo setup (T28 or T3/T4), will I benefit more with the DD or the Rocket exhaust?

Don't get GP-Sports Spec-R Dual or Bee*R Type-3 cat-backs. The scrape on the ground with a 1.8" drop in high driveways, speedbumps... Luckily for me, I have groud controls so i may raise the car to compensate.

Halo, have you actually had both of these exhausts on your car? How did they sound?

I've decided to go for the Greddy DD, Does anyone know who else carries them besides Phase2motortrend? they have one in stock but it's for S14.

Sounds great, with a CAT!

Otherwise, it's a bit too loud to my taste.

I have the Bee*R Type-III Dual exhaust which is the same to the GP Sports Spec-R Dual.

are you guys talking about SR's or just stock KA stuff. If so, I'm sure that OEM has the highest ground clearance of anything. The only real downfall of OEM is the really tight end right after the axle, but that's so it has high ground clearance. Without that, you will lower your ground clearance. Also, the OEM muffler, while it is really quiet, is quite restrictive. If you are concerned with ground clearance, make sure you get something with a nice tight bend through the axle area, like OEM.
