TOG headers and shortened dogbones

[Dee23]

Does anybody have TOG headers with ZZP style TOG downpipe pair with shortened dogbones? I wanna know what's your clearance between the headers/downpipe and the firewall/exhaust tunnel.

I just wanna know if it will clear while the motor is flexing(if any) On like hard take offs and acceleration

Anybody can comment but if you have this specific set up please chime in

I have a 00' Buick GS

Any body familiar with using shortened dogbones paired with tog headers/tog zzp downpipe(or a similar setup)?

I wanna know if the 1" shorter dogbones will create a better clearance for the downpipe oppose to using the stock dogbones

im on stock dogbones and poly inserts with no issues. dont really see the need for shorter dogbones unless your lowered alot. like eibach drop........

yeah figured that. Lately I've been having this loud knock sound coming from the passenger side/tranny gear shifter area near the firewall/cabin floor.

Whenever i take off, theres a loud knock like metal to metal like sombody hit the floor with a hammer. I thought it was the subframe mount thats right under the front passenger seat but i installed all my new subframe mounts like two years ago.

Thought it was my downpipe or swaybar but both clears with plenty of space. Im starting to think its my transmission or passenger axle but this knock is beyond your average knock

Transmission was rebuilt three years ago and the passenger axle used was a GM axle from GM. Transmission works fine. I know noise travels on cars but this is knock is clearly from underneath between the tranny gearshifter area and the passenger firewall area

I had a knock underneath. It was my cradle bolts loose. tighten up and was good. Not saying that's your issue. just something to check. also my lower front sway bar was loose. i tighten both up and was good.

if you have a stock front sway bar im about 90% certain its cracked on both sides where the end links tie it to the control arms. its a very common problem.

Swaybar brackets and links are solid with no movement and mt swaybar is 38mm solid all the way through with no chance of snapping. Subframe mounts are practically new
