Default Ground clearance on single chambers and catted TD's UNDER axle!

I am looking into a setup with Pacesetter LT's, Magnaflow cats, and a under-axle (budget reasons) true dual setup using Single Chamber's, and all 3" the whole way. The car is, and will stay, at stock ride height, just looking to see what kind of ground clearance I'll be sacrificing by running those mufflers AND an under-axle TD system.

I run that combo without cats and still have good clearance at stock ride hight. I do however scrape occasionally on speed bumps and dips in the road when I have people in my car, but not too bad. Just be more aware that you have a low hanging exhaust and you'll be fine.

Got all my flanges from Summit. If you keep the weld close to the pipe, or grind a notch in it, you can use 3/8" bolts. You just have to make sure the head of the bolt and the nut can sit flush on the flange surface and no weld bulges out in the way.
