Default Opinions Requested for continued Build

A few of you have probably seen me trollin around the forums checking stuff out. I need some help before anyone asks yes I'm on air on stock body panels... There will be no body kit K? I'm not worried about stretch poke dope at all I'm looking for frame says hi to pavement.

Current issues when I lay out my exhaust is the first thing to touch causing me to be stuck aprox 1 1/8" off the ground. The front is the same so I'm pretty sure I'm down as far as I can go. There is no room to tub the car stereo takes up the back seats along with tanks and other goodies.

I'm considering dropping down to 17" rims on 35s tires from my 18s on 40s. This won't fix my issue with the exhaust, has anyone seen or heard of any alternatives? I'm considering running it through the body of the car and back out again...

Opinions on rims would be awesome as well as ideas for exhaust or any general opinions/recommendations for what should be done.

The car is getting this year:

17s (no clue on brand)
Dezod S1 kit
24 new speakers and 3 amps all MA audio (sponsor)
Bucket seats and harnesses
A second compressor

Whatever else I am convinced to do...

So please post ideas/recommendations/opinions

Thats actually exactly where the problem spot is... I'm almost thinking I'm going to cut into the front bumper and dump it out of the side...

Ohh and Mo Lo is coming...

I like where its at right now but just dont like how low the back tire goes not my cup of noodles.

But have you tried making a custom exhaust and put the canister where the exhaust shield is, Then run piping to the exhaust cut out on the bumper?

S1 kit would be sweet. for a few hundred more bucks you can get a descendant kit with a nice tubular mani. what i want to get.

Spd_Rcr 24 including subs... I was at 18 this year for show season... ummm sponsorship from MA = fun

one giant box. standard 6 speakers then 6 subs 4 8s right behind the seats and 2 top firing 12s further back in the box. Pretty much I need someplace to hide my tank compressors and all the goodies so a GIANT box containing speakers is whats going to hold it. I was on 6 6x9" Kicker KS for noise last year and... I out powered the audio booths at shows.

Pwee good lookin but I've ran garret turbos for years and love the reliability. I could always get the tubular mani from dezod in the future. As well my muffler actually clears the ground by about an inch, it's the little dip in piping under the rear frame or axle that is causing problems... I'll get a pic of it from where the car is sitting on boards now.
