Default Anyone Running RIPP Log Tube Headers with a Long Arm Lift?

I'm looking for anyone who has run a setup with Ripp long tube headers and a long arm lift kit that relocates the rear control arms. It seems the new bracket for the relocated control arm wil be in the way of the pre formed RIPP headers. This is specifically the set with the CATs. I know they make a set without CATs but that is a offroad racing application.

Is there anyone out there running this setup. If there is, did your exhuhst shop find an easy work around?

Thanks for any input.

It doesn't come with CATs, Right? I spoke to someone at your shop and they said they were more of a race application and they don't have CATs. I will need CATs so I was try to see if anyone had an exhaust shop try to modify things without to much trouble. I would really like to buys these but I have a TereFlex 3" long arm lift kit which relocated my rear control arms.

Have you guys run across anyone to modify your headers to make them work?

I modded mine to fit with a long arm kit. I cut the crossover pipe, shortened it a bit. I also cut and rewelded the pipe coming from the pass. convertor to change the angle for the shorter crossover. Everything clears fine now.

You are my hero!!! I was hoping someone had done this without to much hassle. I would appreciate any pictures you could supply. We have a decent exhaust shop in town that will install them but I wanted to give him an idea of something that worked. I really appreciate this.

Did you ever get a chance to take those pics?

I want to do this also.

Is everyone using the resonator AND a final exhaust? If so, where does the final muffler have to mount?

Sorry, I totally dropped the ball on getting those pics. I'm laid up on crutches right now but will get some as soon as able. I recently crushed my crossover pipe on a BA rock and just replaced it so it does look a little different. Just cleaned up some of the bends. It was a pretty easy mod though to get everything to clear.
