I am sure most of you have the same problem, but lately I feel like everytime i drive, I turn into a lot or something, and my midpipe hits! Its annoying haha. It's like i fix the exhaust leak, and two days later, its back. I drive very slow and at angles and it still hits sometimes. O yeah, I have H&R springs. Anyone have same problem all the time?

Yea, it sucks, I hit my p/c on everything, even being stock height. The problem is that I didnt before so i think when i changed it out for smog and put it back on that i didnt tuck it up well enough. I have had some nasty scrapes on some speed bumps, just rolling over them, hahaha there are some that i avoid because of it. Just gotta learn your area. What im going to try is to loosen all the bolts on the mid then get a jack or something to push the cross section of it up then tighten everything back up again...ill take every bit of clearance i can get.

I live in Michigan (HORRIBLE roads), am lowered, and only hit my Prochamber on VERY high driveway curbs. What I did, was the last time I was under the car to change the passenger manifold flange gasket, I loosened all of the bolts up on the exhaust. I put my floor jack under the prochamber and jacked it up until it was touching the car. I then snugged down all of the bolts and let it go. It rides nice and close to the body, and doesn't hit anything.

the BS that i dont understand is these stupid fvkin shopping centers that make their speed bumps 12 inches high. There is no way any sports car lowered or not could make them.

Oh yea and they are like freaking 9 feet wide too. Its rediculous. When i have my woman in the car shes all like "i feel fat cuz you always scrape with me in the car" and i'm like shut up. I mean she is like 4 to 5 inches taller than me but she a personal trainer so i kniw she isnt fat. yea sorry had to brag a little, but seriously those things are pointless.
