This past weekend I installed the RKSport single Cat-Back on my 98 Cav 2200 . I played around with the positioning for a bit and have about 6.5 inches of clearance (stock suspension) from the lowest point of the exhaust. It doesnt seem to tuck up as good as the stock exhaust, of coarse it is larger piping. In any case anyone with this setup get better clearance or is that as good as I should expect. Its not too big of a deal now but I had planned on installing the EIBACH Sportline lowering kit and KYB Struts in the near future.
should use Koni's if ur gonna drop ur car on sportlines
my catback lowest point is about 4 or 5" from the ground and i'm dropped on KYBs and Eibach pro kit.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
Thanks for the feedback all.
ok i got a question that i coulnt find the answer 2 when i searched
ok i hope the pic helps with my answer.. i wanna no which piece of the exhaust the short or long 1 fits 2 the cat! in other words how it all hooks 2gether! i have an 05 cavy with the ecotec! doesnt the resonator get replaced right! i just need 2 no if i use all the pieces or what since its for the 2.2 and 2.4 engines! ne help would be appreciated!
heres a pic of the exhaust! which piece gets used in my app. he shorter or longer one on the right of the pic! Thanks!!
^^Only one of those will fit, the exhaust is made for the different motors. I think I used the longer one but either way, only one will fit.

the short and the long depend on the year of your car and the motor
the long is for the 2.3 2.4 and eco , and the 2200 from late 98-02
the short is for the 95-early 98
if anyone has a extra long piece , i need 1
i think the clearence on mine is as close to the bodt as i could get , i got my system used , and the muffler was tack welded to the pipe , and ive been to lazy to cut the tack weld , but i havent had any clearence issues
also on the 98 older systems do not use a mounting point just foward of the rear axle , but the hanger is there on the rk piping , it will help with ground clearence to use that mounting point
all you need is the factory hanger (it comes with the rubber) i think its like 15-20 bucks from the dealer new , and then you need a bolt and nut to attach it to the body , the hole is already there for it to mount to

Yes you place the longer one after the cat, The shorter one isnt made for your car...
that peice will be leftover
ok thats what i thought but wasnt sure thanks guys !!
ok i have another quick question y do u guys say this system needs a resonator what will it affect! thanks
cause its obnoxious with out 1 , ive got
and it had alot of bee buzzz in a coffee can when cold
once i added a high flow cat and a header , it went past loud to obnoxious loud
it doesnt help that the muffler is 2 1/4" inlet , and 2 3/4" outlet
the resonator will quiet the exhaust up some , and kill the bee buzz
will a header from pacesetter or weapon r .....make for a loader exhaust then? if so ...how much more than stock?
