of course...4 vs 2 running under your oil pan= half the ground clearance.

It really depends on the manufacturer. A DC 4-2-1 vs a DC 4-1, yes the 4-2-1 will have more ground clearance. The Spoon 4-2-1 is really a 4-1 with just a tri-y collector so it's ground clearance is more like a 4-1. If you are willing to make a couple of mods to under your engine I can build a 4-2-1 that isn't much lower than the oil pan.

If you wouldn't lower your car so damn much, then you wouldn't have this problem. My car handles great, has a 4-1 header, and no clearance problems. Quit your bitchin.

Are you for real? He can lower his car as much as he pleases, he still wants to know the ground clearance issue.

Just like they say, traditionally, yes a 4-1 is lower.

I just don't understand people who spend so much money to make their car perform worse and look ridiculous.

Why you want to lower 2.75" in the front anyways? I think anything more than 1.75" is way too low and will take away from performance. Remember lower is not always better. But if your purpose is for show only, then I have nothing to say!!
