Re: pics of long tube clearence?

Clearance is good so far... My car is dripped and the long tubes are about 3 1/2 inches off the ground... but I haven't scraped them yet... just be careful on speed bumps.

How much are your cars dropped? I got the hotchkis 1 inch drop and just by looking under my car i duno if long tubes would be a good idea, especially living in MA with crappy roads here and there. Its also a daily driver.

No pics but I'm running pacesetter lt's w/ 1.3 inch drop and no problems with speed bumps yet. Just be careful how you drive and where you go.

Re: pics of long tube clearence?

Just point the exhaust clamps down so you'll get a warning before you scrape anything expensive. They start rusting in a matter of weeks anyway, unless you've got stainless. If it's all welded put one on there anyway, people will look at you funny when you scrape over a big speedbump but keeping the coating on your headers is worth the stares. I've had less problems since I replaced the rear springs and shocks. I'm glad my car isn't really lowered though, the streets aroudn here are brutal.
