RoadsterNut,

The exhaust is partially visible from the side - it's a result of the frame being substantially lower than the edge of the rocker. OEM design, unfortunately. The exhaust hangs less than 1/2" below the chassis though.

Jim is using some pretty small-diameter tires, so he loses about 1/2" ground clearance, compared to "street diameter" tires. I didn't measure his car, but I estimate about 4" ground clearance below the muffler.
