I have an '04 w/Roush suspension kit so it's a little bit lower in the rear (2.5"-3.0"), I also have a set of 58" torque bars. I'm trying to find a catback that has some clearance. My truck currently has the Bassani catback and have tried to adjust/align it but can not gain any clearance (max I can get the tips is .5" going over the t-bars)

no plans on changing to another t-bar, so that suggestion is out. I may end up going back stock and having the stock pipes/tips re-worked/adjusted for clearance if I can't find another solution. I did have a JDM Silver Bullet on the truck prior to Bassani (t-bars not on at that time) but I was unhappy with the Silver Bullet fitment, the tips didn't line up how I wanted. Even after 3 exhaust shops looked over it, they wouldn't be able to make a 'simple' fix/adjustment to correct it without ditching the tips and cutting the mufflers apart from each other, then the labor too.

I've spent 3 hours between 3 boards searching and looking for pics as well. What are you using if you have the 58" bars? (got pics from underneith?)

thanks

 

I've got 3" shackles out back and my spintech clears the long bars w/no problems at all.

going to trek north to dallas to meet up with terry at performance research and let him setup a catback on the truck.

 

I have the JDM single Magnaflow cat-back with LFP 58" lift bars and the Roush lowering kit. All works well together. You are welcome to come take a look.

jlp traction bars,2/3 inch drop with coils and hangers with a jdm silver bullet. exhaust has never hit the bars ever.

 

Mac exhaust, no problems here. Except for the slightly rusty mac tips.

 

Rick,
Have you removed the spacers on the Bassanni hangers?? That gives you about 1 to 2 more inches of room. Thats what I did many many moons ago
