Can someone take a measurement for me?
I'd do it myself but my car and I are 2000 miles apart most of the time, including right now. What I need is a rough measurement of the distance from the top of the exhaust piping to the underside of the heat shielding (see arrows.) I want to see how much space I have to play with for the bypass piping and valves.
In other news, my donor muffler arrived today! Thanks to forum member itsnotanova for helping me out with a good deal.
