I always get an honest look at issues on here.
My thought is a 2" or even 1.5 inch exhaust cutout would be as effective as a full size 3" cutout. I figure that since its not an exhaust divertor that it only needs to aloow enough additional flow as to remove excess backpressure.
The original 3"-4" and muffler are still flowing so the cutout just needs to provide that extra flow above what they are capable.
This would make it much easier to fit under the car.
If this is correct it would be a significant improvement in ground clearance!
Please chime in if you see a flaw or agree with this conclusion.
Thanks

I talked to a design engineer with Borla and he seems to think it would be fine with a smaller cutout.
