Do you run long tubes? I'm reading that these chassis braces will only work with factory exhaust. Thanks

dude...

§ 22-609 - Modification of exhaust system. ...

it won't clear...unless you put some kind of extension on it to drop it down some...and then you lose ground clearance..

and yes I run shorties with ARH catted down pipes...hope to run 11's in the spring.
