Re: oryp with lowered car? I scrap mine once a week, and I have a hooker ory and a prokit that sits really low. If you want some pics I can get one up in 5 mins let me know. FWIW its a good idea to lower the car. drive careful and you wont have any problems at all

Re: oryp with lowered car? My car is lowered 2 inchs and my oryp never hits the ground or the floor pan now that I modified it; it used to hang lower than the SLP SFC's, but now it's above them. I cut two sections out of the floor pan reinforcements to clear a path for the Y, then installed QTP headers which brought the Y up very close into the two cut away areas. I plan to weld a U channel on top of this area under the carpet soon to restore chassis integrity. I'll post some pics tonight.

Re: oryp with lowered car? I'll take some pics under mine when I get a chance. I've got the pro kit and the Hooker ORY. I never drag mine. Of course I'm careful about where I drive too. The only thing I've dragged was my cut out once when I wasn't paying attention and went over a hump to fast. Sucked too because it hit right on the wingnut and tightened it down so tight that I didn't think I was going to get it off.

Re: oryp with lowered car? The Hooker ory tucks up very well and should not cause minimal issues if any. SLP headers hang kinda low and I'm not sure about qtp/kooks.

Re: oryp with lowered car? As long as you have 3" between the Y-pipe and the ground you should be ok. I have exactly 3" and I don't really have any issues except for once coming out of a parking lot that was like a ^ (meaning long ditch-quick peak-ditch again, if that makes any sense. Also, it only happened once with a very large friend in the car (250+ lbs). Never happened again (even on the same parking lot exit without that extra 250 lbs.
