Clearance Issues

Long Tube Headers, X Pipe, Dual Chambered Exhaust Mufflers and dumps before the axles...

Going up a driveway... just everyday driving...

Then dropping the rear only about 1 1/2 inches... how severe of clearance issues should I have over speed bumps, driveways, etc...

Re: Clearance Issues

buddy of mine used too have a setup like that lowered 1.5" all the way around
definately had issues with speed bumps (duh) but all in all said it wasnt that bad, just had too be more careful

i have a similar setup using full size mufflers myself with 3" duals and X but i am not lowered and can still get a coke can underneath my pipes

Re: Clearance Issues

I love the dropped rear... but I live in an area with hills, driveways, and speed bumps... right now I can cruise RIGHT over them without any troubles at all. But once I get the headers, x, and dumps... I think that'll change. Just hoping its not enough to drop the rear. I think the dropped rear (Closing the gap) looks..

Re: Clearance Issues

Might wanna consider bullets over chambered mufflers for clearance issues.
