As I grind toward designing what I want in a new project, I have a couple of questions:

1) What is the ground clearance of the stock side pipes on a "normal" stance. The s/c pipes are at rocker level, but the FIA is below the rocker. We have a lot of speed bumps here in the DR and clearance is crucial.

2) Having has a 427 FE in a SPF in the past, I know the noise these beasts can make. I don't want to go there again. Maybe I'm old and want the kids off the lawn. But has anyone modified the FIA pipes adding a muffler to reduce the racket?

If the clearance is decent and adding a muffler is doable, that may be easier than under car exhaust which looks complex no matter how it's done.

TIA for the input!
