My car has been lowered 2" and being a convert. will i have a clearance issue if i put dual tips on each side before the tires without the side exhaust side skirts? For example around sharp curves, or more importantly will it be extremely bad over speed bumps no matter how slow i take them to mess up the pipes?

I had a regulat 2.5 in pipe on each side when I lowered my car. I scraped them EVERYWHERE. When I woulod turn sharp they would drag. I almost ripped them off pulling up on a lift. And it was the lowest one they had.

I was thinking i saw someone on here that had them. Have you taken them off or is it worth it?

I too them off, but not becasue of the scraping. I wanted to try turndowns. I currently have them on but am getting a Borla side exhaust system soon.
