Default lowered car need more clearance

i put my suspension parts on my car today which included springs which lowered my car more than i thought. i have 2 large speed bumps were i live.the stock y pipe scrapes slightly going over them. is there a y pipe i can buy that has more clearance than the stocker. the drivers side sit really low which i guess is my they flatened it from the factory. has anybody had a exhaust shop make them a y pipe that tucks up closer to the car . thanks

Yea ... your just going to need to throw some different springs in there... Thats pretty bad that your Stock Y won't clear something. I'm lowered 1.5-1.75" and my 3" duals very rarely scrape. How much did the springs drop the car? More than 2"?

Should have went with a coil-over setup because now you're stuck. Muffler shop might be able to do something for you.

Call LG Motorsports, ask them to send you some blue polyurethane spacers, they are perfect for what you need. Get 4 of them. I think I paid $20 a few weeeks ago. 4 of them will lift you close to 1/2". If that too much try using one spacer on each side. Rear springs is what I'm talking about too.
