just the angle, but that looks positively dangerous.
Does the sump on a Subaru installation require changing for clearance?

For some reason with my Soob conversion the stock sump left me with plenty of clearance. It was a 1967 pan based project though and most Soob conversions now are done on modern tube frame chassis so maybe the trannys are mounted lower in those necessitating a thinner pan? Not sure. I had a pretty much stock stance on my rear suspension too where most prefer the lower look so maybe that came into it too.

That exhaust setup shown in the pics looks familiar though and if it is what I think it is, you'll be left with about 1 1/2" of ground clearance just because of it.
