im looking to get an exhaust built and am not totally sure of weather to go under axle or over axle? i know that under has better air flow but how low to the groud is it? do you have to worry about scrapping it on the ground at all.... i live in "the woods" theres a lot of dirt roads and up and down hills im not sure if going under would be better for me. please let me know thanks... if this is in the wrong place sorry im not sure whare it should go.

if your worrie go over axle because it does sit low. i know mine isnt the best under axle in the world but it seriously is low, i would never lower my car because then it wouldnt be streetable.

Save yourself the hassle and go over axle. That way you won't have problems in the future if you decide to lower it. I doubt you are going to have the most extreme built N/A beta out there where the .5 horsepower advantage of under axle will actually effect you, so I would go over axle. That's what I did with mine, and I don't regret it at all. My only suggestion is to get LOTS of mounts welded on to absorb vibration, and stray away from OBX headers.

my exhaust is under axle and i had it before i lowered the car and i have no problems...

go with under axle because it takes away some of the bends that over axle has....

it takes away the SHARP angles out of the exhaust. and i think it actually takes 1 or 2 bends out of it.
