Yeah if you want to go super low then your only choice would be a hidden tail pipe.
Mine is on coilovers already but with the huge twin pipe back box its limited me to a practical ride height :) we all want to go lower though haha

Righ the plan is to save up and buy a hidden one :)
Probably a silly question but they do sounds nice if you ask them to make it that way im guessing?

Yeah they will ask you how loud you want the system to be, its all personal preference.
They dictate the sound/loudness of the exhaust with the amount of silencers used and how free flowing the system is.

For example some exhausts have 2 silencers from the Cat Back, some have one and others have none.

My Mongoose system has 1 silencer and its not too loud but if I had no silencer it would probably be far too loud.

I went from the standard system

To this

Now I want to go back to an OEM looking exhaust in stainless steel. 8)

Sup buddy,

Yeah mine scrapped everyday I had it on my work speedbump,,,

I wouldn't cut your bumper as the top of the arch on the exhaust over the axle will hit...

Bit of a trick I learnt is to run a weld on the bottom of the exhaust and let that scrape as the weld metal is alot harder than the thin metal box....

I liked the look of a twin but with my new wheels and stance I need to go lower so a hidden was installed lol..
Weld the bottom up and scrape away until you can have a new small back box..

Thats good advice ha never thought of welding it...
No i dont want to cut my bumper :/
I know the twin pipes look awesome but im going to get some wheels in the summer and lower it quite a bit to get the stance i want so the exhaust will have to go im afraid :(
