2.5" td setup with lowering springs will give you about 3.5" ground clearance.
I am not lowered, and with my 3" td setup tucked up as tight as it will go, I have 4.25" ground clearance all around, and just under 4" at the mufflers.

u have any pics of ur exaust. When i was searching i found a thread that had a guy custom fab his own exaust on his ss with cme and it came out sweet. He had no clearence problem. When i went to an exaust shop and told him about that set up, the guy told me the the undercarriage on the camaro was different then the trans am and the camaro had more room to work with. This was the guys setup.

Sounds like the guy either doesnt know what he's talking about or doesnt want to do the job. I don't blame him for not wanting to do it
