I received my exhaust today. Pypes SGF63 (3" No Muffs) and 2 Dynomax ultra Flos. Well, this isnt working for me. Seems like the tailpipes are too big or wrong bend or something. Could be because the car is lowered with the Hotchkis TVS system with 275's on the rear.... but its not working. No matter how I wrestle with the pipes I cannot get them in...Anyone else used this kit?
I bought this system because I wanted a complete system with an x pipe which would be relatively bolt right in... And now im tossing around the idea of sending it back and getting the american thunder, or just hacking this to work and not running tailpipes....

You know what you might try is to jack the body up and then try and fit the tail pipes.

If you send them back consider Ram Air Restorations. Perfect. (3" X pipe)

I would try what Skip said, Try jacking up the car and let the rear suspension hang free, maybe take the wheels off and try and snake them in that way.

I have them in on my car, its not lowered though. I know I was supposed to work from the exhaust tips up, but I did not have them when I got the kit. Now that the kit is installed there is no way to get the exhaust tips in that I can see. They simply dont line up well enough and there is very little room for a 3" pipe between the body and the leaf spring. I took it to a muffler shop and they could not help me. Im thinking of going to a 2 1/2 in system.

I ran into that problem also with my Jegs brand. The boys on the Nova site say you have to take the bottom shock bolt a loose.
