Default Smokin S4: did you measure the new cats you got when you put them in?

I'm trying to figure out if they would give me more ground clearance.

Default I have them at home...I can measure if you want. They appear they would have a little more

clearance.

Default That would be awesome if you could measure them.

You don't happen to have the old cats still lying around do you? If you do, could you measure the height of the old cats as well?

I really appreciate your help.

Default They're ~6" in diameter. Wondering if you ripped the bottom heatshield if you'd get the

same clearance as the newer ones...

Default any idea how tall the old ones are?

I'm trying to avoid having to get down on my back under the car, lol.

Default Sorry, thats the "old ones" measurement. Think the new ones are 4-4.5" but they don't have

a shield on them.

Since the old ones aren't round, do you have any idea what their height is (as mounted)?

Default Actually, you are correct...they are pretty much round. There is that flange though where the two

pieces of the heat sheild meet. I just want to make sure you aren't taking that part where it sticks out to be part of the diameter.
