I still laugh at the name..... evokes the image (in my warped mind) of some comic like image of a rabbit on roller skates with a rocket engine strapped on it's back a la Wile E. Coyote.

Aired out..still.doesn't raise much regardless.. 4 inches max. It will create issues..but tbh..this is meant for freeways and city streets..not drive thrus and parking lots w speedbumps.. still better clearance than the static fitment guys have..but yeah..still..it will be a *****.

Note that the exhaust tips (all 8 pipes) face ATL area as I'm heading back West. Who cares what's (or who's) behind me when I'm traveling 0.63 Mach into prevailing 40knot Westerly winds?
