ok this is what im looking at getting. its worth about $3500.

Ramjet OTR Cold Air Intake
K&N reusable air filter
Di Filippo Twin 2 1/2″ Cat Back System
Full Custom Maf-Less dyno tune

my questions are:

1. how does the di filippo system sit ground clearance wise? ive seen a few systems that hang down and definitely dont want that as im sitting on ssl front and sssl rear. also, anyone with this system fitted got a vid? (ive search tube but cant find anything)
2. with the ramjet otrcai and maf-less tune am i now driving an un-roadworthy car? does this effect insurance?

thanks in advance, any help appreciated.

EDIT: ALL LABOUR INCLUDED

Di filippo 4-1 do hang relatively low, but is that just for a cat back or a full exhaust system. I reckon that's a rip off if its just a cat back.

No you won't have no problems with insurance.

I have 3inch Di filippo cat back the lowest part is the mounting point just before rear muffler doesn't sit that low mine is stock height so it sits 135mm of the ground same height as front spoiler.
The clearance issues you have heard about are when you fit headers I enquired about these as I am planning on getting Di Filippo headers apparently the cats sit 1.5 to 1.75 inches below chassis rail which is similar to other long tube headers(thats what they told me). If you want headers that dont hang so low (short tube) I think Sureflow and HM make them.

Cant help with pics though dont have any available

If you go tri-y style extractors they don't sit as low as the 4 into 1's.. But as you mentioned it's cat back so no need to worry bout how low extractors n cats sit when you have stock ones..
