1969 FB w RA3 exhausts too low
 
Our 69 FB convertible has RA3 exhaust manifolds with 2.5" attached duel exhaust.

It appears the connections at the manifolds are from a Pypes system (Pypes Stainless Steel Exhaust Downpipes DGF13S). They drag the ground entering and exiting our driveway. The car has new springs and is at a stock height.

Am I the only one with this issue or have others had clearance issues with these downpipes? Any ideas how to resolve?

DGF 13 S is for standard manifolds, they would definitely hang WAY low on RA manifolds. I think DGA 20 S is what should be on there.

Thanks, I will check it out. Its very possible they used the wrong ones.

I'd contact Chris if wrong head pipes were supplied.

This isn't the first time I've read complaints about the Pypes downpipes being a bit low. I know mine are but not enough to rub (A-body). I remember at least one person cutting about 2 inches out near the top flange and re-welding.
I'm using RA manifolds also, by the way.
