I designed my exhaust then took it to an exhaust shop to have made.I don't think you'll fit 4" over the rear,but should be able to run 4' under the car and keep it tucked up.I run a Dynomax Race bullet mounted where the cat convoter should be.it the run right next to the drive shaft and up over the rear with another bullet mounted sideways like stock.Comes out behind the drivers rear wheel.I can get you some pictures if you like.But just imagine a "F" Body Camaro.

15x7 trans am firebird wheels... 4.250 backspacing (all) had to run a 1/2 inch spacer on the rear.
235/60 15 rear
215/60 15 front
wish i could have run 50 or 55 series tires but could really find any and they make DR's in 235's

Very Nice.........!

What Exactly Are You Going To Do For A Hood, Or To The Hood To Make It Work ?

Is there anyone who makes a hood for these cars, such as a fiberglass cowl hood for the Pontiac & Buick cars ?
