Default tanabe medalion touring vs. borla mufflers FITMENT/CLEARANCE question...

couple questions, especially for anyone that may have had the newer style borla mufflers and switched to the medalion touring catback...

does the tanabe MT have the same issue as the borlas with the left side hanging down more and sticking out lower than the right...like the stock exhaust?

about the catback piping... after seeing a few cars dumped on air (shane, thanks for the pic):

:,

from underneath you can see that the exhaust piping is basically hitting the ground and keeping the car from lowering any further... anyone know if the tanabe MT piping is lower profile or does it hang even lower? i know shanes using an aftermarket exhaust havent hit him up about what kind it is yet......

Not sure about the fitment of the Tanabe MT piping underneath but I'll check and try to take a picture of that so we can see ...

Damn, the Tanabe seems pretty flush and close to the body. Man I love this exhaust. Look at the honeycomb resonantors!!!

The Tanabe MT is the only exhaust I've had but I do have it paired with the SRT Intake and at WOT it sounds great ... Can't wait till I add headers in the future
