Default Ground clearance issues?

On a 01 WS6 if I put true duals (sweet thunder chambered, x-pipe, long tubes) on it with it lowered 1", would I have bad ground clearance issues. I don't drive over speedbumps, but I do encounter rough roads every once in awhile. Thanks

You may have some clearance issues. I remeber there was one picture of a car with LT's and all you could fit between road and pipe was a can of pop. So that's like 4 inches. Now lower it down even an inch more, and you'll be scraping on some bumpy roads. At least that's what numbers show.

I'm split between chosing LT and Mids. I know LT will give you max 8rwhp more than mids, but at least I won't encounter any clearance issues if I chose to lower my car a bit.... and I do plan on lowering my car, since stock (not lowered) F-bod looks like crap.
