5280LGT Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I ran into the same problem when I was installing mine. I found the suspension can't be all the way dropped when installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivonr Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 talk about fitment issues...lol. so if i get it installed, and get the car lifted again to, say, rotate the tires...will it hurt anything when the suspension drops down into the exhaust?

Legit_LGT Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 talk about fitment issues...lol. so if i get it installed, and get the car lifted again to, say, rotate the tires...will it hurt anything when the suspension drops down into the exhaust? Check this video out: There is no apparent damage to the exhaust. It has been installed for over 4 years, so the car has been raised and lowered quite a bit. That is how a Q300 will fit a LGT. The exhaust shifts about one inch to the right when the car is raised. When the car is sitting on the ground the suspension clears it by one inch. If you are going to have it installed, it is done easier when the tires are carrying the load (same as when you replace the sway bars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivonr Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 i did, sounds GREAT. fitment is funky, mind you i pad around $350 for the exhaust though. left side muffler, right side tip is touching the paint...ouch. will have to adjust it when i get some free time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
