Exhaust scraping I bought the car with an exhaust setup on it. It's got long tubes and a "custom" Y-pipe. I lowered the car a little bit and I swear the exhaust is 1/2 inch off the ground. You can't turn a coke can over and role it under it. What is a good Y-pipe you guys can recommend with no cats that I can just replace the crap with. I'm tired of scraping everything I drive over. I EVEN HIT THE REFLECTORS IN THE MIDDLE WHEN I CHANGE LANES! ...Just looking for a recommendation on a good highflow no cat Y-Pipe!

If they are SLP LTs then you will always have a problem with a lowered car. Find out what brand they are and then you can determine what y pipe will work. If you have no way of knowing what brand, then go with a custom y pipe, most exhaust shops will do one for under $175, just be sure and get the Flowmaster merge collector.

As you can see from the second link. The headers sit at a perfectly acceptable height. This custom fab Y-pipe this guy had done makes no sense to me. It sits that low all the way back to the mufflers. Then just jumps up into the muffler nest in the back. Whatever... If I recall they are pacesetter? not sure. I know for a fact they are not SLP.
