I know its a longshot but thought i woulud ask on here, I just finished installing my Hellion kit last night and lowered the car and the hotside is extremely low, more so from the downpipe back to the exhaust, it is sitting maybe 3" off the ground. It is not even close to being acceptable or where the stock stuff was. I looked everything over and the turbo appears to be sitting in the right spot in the engine bay and everything only bolts up to the headers one way.

I searched around and saw a lot of people complaining about ground clearance with the hellion kits but any ideas on what to check or what to fix to help?

thanks for the help in advance
 
Is this the kit where the the down pipe splits into two and goes underneath the k member?

I would assume that is typical clearance for a lowered car then.
 
Yeah its splits into two right under the k member, so thats the kit. I have seen many pictures of the pipes hanging closet to stock and i just can't figure out how to raise mine. I might try to clock the downpipe some and siee if the turbo pipe can come up, othewise might need to take it to an exhaust shop. whats a good exhaust shop around farmington hills area that is reasonable and does good work?

Thanks system, should be pretty sweet when its done, hopefully hit the 650rwhp range on E85
