If you mean a setup like this:

http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DD%2D2035

it will be very tight to the apron. If you do clear it, the exhaust tips will be aimed directly into the bumper and will echo. I would imagine it will sound like shit and not to mention, be very annoying. I mocked-up this setup once and when I saw it with the bumper on, I immediatly took it off and threw a quiet pack on instead.

edit: I see you don't have bumper. Go for it, it will be real tight though.

Anyone got a pic of the euro tuck installed in a split bus with bumper? It seems like you could bend the tips downward so they weren't shooting straight into the bumper.

Had one of thems once, only once! Rolling Eyes

IIRC the tips had to be bent down some. However, it was really LOUD! "Liked" so much, I gave it up on a flipper bus within a year. For that amount of money, save a little more and get yourself an A-1 Sidewinder collector but go to a muffler shop and have them graft a smaller muffler than the MONDO one from A-1. Not to knock them down since they are a great shop and make a super product. It's just that the MONDO muffler is also loud, but the sidewinder is the tits! Razz
