My ARH 1 7/8s stick down a bit. I haven't scraped them yet. How much have you lowered your car?

Believe me, if they were too low there'd been plenty of posts warning people. Just saying.

I think your asking a bit much from a set of LONGTUBES....
I have LG Super Pros with the 3'' X pipe..im lowerd with a longer bolt in the rear and front bolt removed...they are pretty close to the ground LOL like i said you cant expect a good set of LT's to tuck up like factory man...

I have the LG Longtubes and just looked underside. They are 1-1/2" below the floor pan. Plenty of clearance...been running them for about 4 years now.

how many miles are on the car? maybe it's time for some new motor mounts?

I ran them on my 03Z for several years. At the stock ride height I had no issues at all. Great fit and made 380 to the wheels with tuning.

2-3" is way more iirc. I'll try to get a pic of mine tonight and post it for you to compare.
It was 390rwhp without a tune with just a CAI + the ARHs. We'll see how much my tuning added when I go back in the next few months.
