no long tubes here but I scrape with H&R SS springs on speed bumps if I go too fast over them.

i have a 1.5 inch drop with the SLP LTs and i dont have any clearance issues day to day. But if theres any large speed bump i go one wheels at a time just to be safe.

same here^...the slp catback has a good lip on the ends that connect to the midpipe. I've seen some catbacks that don't seal up as well since they don't have those lips like on the slp's and when you jack up the midpipe a bit, it create leaks.

I think my MRT h pipe sits as high or even higher than the stock one. If i look from the side, i could hardly see the catalytic converters hiding behind the frame connectors.

Im going to reuse my Bassani Xpipe,taking it to a shop to cut to fit to the new headers. Im sure then can lift up exhaust but the headers are the only thing that cannot be raised. When they lower car off lift I ll take a look and see how bad it will be.

yeah its adjusted up as far as i can. I live in a college town so the speed bumps are damn huge over here. Some are as high as 7" tall ( i **** you not) i measured the ones in my g/f old apartment houseing because they are soo large.

I think Florida has some of the largest speed bumps. No way that Black Cobra thats has been posted on here will be able to drive around here.

it won't hurt them if you scrape... unless you bottem out REALLY bad... ya'll be fine...

I think you should buy coil overs... then you can adjust
