Default Deeper transmission pans...

Anybody using one of these with an after market 3" xpipe and midsection before the cat back? Does it clear? Do you have any ground clearance problems?

I have seen the following brands for teh 4l60e--Hughs, Summit, milodon. Each claims to hold an extra 2 quarts and are made of the same cast aluminum.

Any feedback is helpful.

I can only comment on the B&M deep-pan.
Yes, I did/do have dome rubbing on the pass side where my B&B Bullet bolts to the Random Tech x-pipe.
For the time being I made a spacer out of pcv (with a metal sleeve inside it to prevent collapse) and used a hose clamp to seceure it inbetween the pan and exhaust.
I`m not sure what I`m going to do long term.
