some stock replacement exhaust pipes don't have that.

but I fail to see how that is in a worse location than the crossmember in the exact center of your breakover angle.

Sometimes I can make it past the cross member(not always). Its a little more forward. But both will hang you up for certain.

the TNT has a special one for the 242, i know JCR does as well. the 242 is a MUCH bigger tcase than the 231. if you plan on clocking, you will have to modify the floor or not clock it as much.

Just remember your front driveshaft angle will also be a bit steeper.

I also raised my tranny mounting point about an inch when i did mine.

just wanted to add that you can redrill the ax15 also.
