If you drive on perfectly paved roads with no bumps, pot holes, or speed bumps.....then no you won't have any problems. I personally live in an area with not-so-perfect roads. I am very careful with my LT's and catback when driving around town. Just use common sense and compensate for the lowered car and exhaust. My springs lower the car about 1.5". My exhaust hangs quite low also. Just BE CAREFUL!

Here you go dude. I have an update on my car now. It has been lowered 1.5". My car very rarely scrapes and when it does its the x that hits. I have redone part of the system and now the driver side that is usually the lowest part of the system is tucked very high. I used a hammer and beat in the underside of the car where the pipe usually bangs to get the pipe higher. On a stock ride height car my system would be as good a stock.
If you like mine I will sell it for 350 shipped and just build me another one just like it.

I see no problem w/ lowered cars and true duals. U will scrape time to time, but if u can live w/ it, it is not that bad. I have heard some major horror stories about lowered cars and TD's. I have Eibach Sportlines in my 1999 Z (about 2 in. of drop) and I have scraped here and there. Roads aren't terrible where i'm from but they are not that great either. Just avoid speed bumps at all costs. I have never ran into one that I had to go over, YET!!. Even so, I think I might be alright. Here are some pics, Pacesetter Long tubes w/ TSP duals. I have some pics, if u search, u will find them. I'm getting all new pics of the TD's in the next few days so I will have some really nice ones to show u guys.
