why is my exhaust soo low!!!

my car is lowered with the SLP level 1 suspension, i have SLP headers ( they hang a little lower than other ones i think) and i have SLP loud mouth exhast, now part of my piping hangs really really low! i scrape at times on places other lowered cars dont, ill try to get pics but its it the just set up i have? or will another exhaust like borla sit higher, can a exhaust shop raise it at all, i hate having it soo low. i havent taken a good look but could one of my hangers be off....

SLP EXHAUST EQUIPTMENT = KEEP STOCK RIDE HEIGHT!!

I learned this the hard way!!! Looks like you are too. There is nothing you can do but put it back to stock height.

I have Eibach sportlines and the LM exhaust.

# of time scraped a speed bump or anything else = 0

Just take your time going over bumps, and take inclines to entrances or exits of places at an angle. You should be scraping anything.

I also have SLP headers/LM, and I have Eibach Prokit springs. When my car is parked on level ground, there's only about 2" (actually, maybe even less) of clearance with the ground at the lowest points. After I got the headers, I seriously considered unlowering my car, but I liked the way my car looks lowered, so I kept it the way it was. My exhaust scrapes all over the place especially when I have 3 or 4 people in the car. I've just gotten used to planning my routes a little better, and I'm extra careful going in/out of driveways and stuff (going over speed bumps is pretty much out of the question). So far, I haven't damaged anything, but there are scrape marks all over the bottom of my headers/y-pipe. I've had them for about 8 months now, and they've been scraped many times. Don't worry, they're tougher than you think (but I'd still be very careful to avoid dragging your exhaust as much as possible).
