That system is incredible - Mallet used to sell it (or something just like it) - used a couple of carbon cannisters, I think there was even some small mod to the frame to accommodate the install.
Always wanted to hear what it sounds like
It has more of an F1 sound than a muscle car sound,
kinda quiet at idle. The headers gave it a little more muscle car sound and it screams at WOT. I get lots of compliments on the exhaust note.

Well going TOO low would be rice if it severely impacts the performance of the car. A little lower aint no thang, and it does look cool... well, when its not scraping on the driveway hehehe.

Mine is lowered on the stock bolts... which amounts to 1/2" on a Z51 C5. After lowering and an alignment, the car handles great (well, the Hotchkis sway bars help too
)
