Did you even try searching? This has been asked more times than I care to count!

But to answer your question. I was lowered with both 3" and 2.5". Your clearance is going to depend on your muffler, and how well you can get the exhaust tucked up near the driveshaft tunnel...

get the system built by someone with a head on their shoulders and itll tuck better than a y pipe setup.

Hey thanks a lot guys, I realize this has probably been asked a million times. My bad! .....But anyways, the only problem is I want to run an H-pipe with 1-series Flowmasters. I think their size might be a prob, chambered mufflers probably wouldnt be much of an issue.
I think I'm going to lower my car first, then bring it in to the exhaust shop and see what my guy thinks!
I need to lower my car bad, I just put a 17/18 wheel combo on it and it sits like a 4-wheel drive now! haha
Thanks guys!
