You shouldn't have any issues unless you have the springs that lower the rear 2" or more ? Then clearence could become an issue !

But, meter in the throttle slowly & the little motor pulls hard all the way to the top. I'm just figuring out how much she can handle. And it's a lot of fun doing it. P.S. The sound is great! I love just starting it up. Sounds like a sports car. haha
Yea I noticed this too...this engine seems kind of gutless most of the time. No torque.

It reminds me of when I rode a 125cc dirt bike. There was no bottom end. But once you hit the midrange (revs) the thing takes off & feels like a 250cc. You had to have one finger on the clutch (always) just in case the revs dropped too low. Those things would corner though! 'nother story.

I know this isn't the write forum for my question but I read that the exhaust from magnaflow system for the 2.2 is also for the 2.4 which is what I have. My question is; I have in the near future plans to put gold line lowering springs in the front and rear which are measured to give just over 2" is drop in the rear. Does anyone have this set up and have a cat back exhaust system on? I just want to double check to make sure this fits before I purchase the magnaflow system.

Thanks!!
John
