I apologize for changing the subject away from your original question, but I have several friends who bought Yamahas just before they introduced the quieter version, and they like their carts, but wish they had known and would have waited, had they known.
As far as your original question, from what I can tell, not all of the tunnels have the same clearance. It seems to me I see more scrapes on the ceilings of the tunnels as I go north.
If you like the cart and the price, you might look into the cost of removing the lifters, and get it back to its original specs.
Good used carts at a good price are hard to come by.
As far as quietech, you can find kits where you add sound deadening material to the engine compartment.

As far as good used golf carts. I've, come to wonder. With all the NEW golf carts being sold, where do old golf carts go? The bodies are fiberglass. It never rots away.
I also wonder who has the oldest still being used golf cart? Mine is ten years old and surely not even a contender

As far as the lifter kit. Perhaps time to think out of the box. Perhaps there is a villager who would want a lifter kit and would trade the original parts. I assume the springs are different to get the lift.
