actually ive lost a ton of torque.. the car is a slug off the line but when the turbo spools up she takes off like a rocket..

Deptford is uhm.. well south of Washington Township, bout 20 mins from Cherry Hill?? Exit 21 on 295 :)

the exhaust where it bent right there is about 2 1/2 - 3" off the ground.. thats the lowest part of the car.. the front is about 4" and the sides are about the same..

Sorry to hear that Larry. Sounds like a good time to upgrade or go with a custom job that might work better with your lowered car.
