I don't have true duals, but im already on my 2nd ypipe. speed bumps are a no! any award angles are also a no! in other words its possible but becomes a pain in the *** if you have bad roads or live close to a school.

speed bumps are not that bad,just have to go over them sideways.On inclines my front bumper scrapes more than my exhaust.

Just don't drive like an *** everywhere you go, and be careful around any speed bumps and pulling into steep driveways. It can be done, but my system is tucked pretty well.

Mine is not as tucked up as it should be. I only have the hose mod (lowered 3/4")and I still have to be careful sometimes. I didnt clear over a box turtle the other day..

I built one once that went above the trans crosmember. I know, impossible, but I did it. From the side of the car , you could not see the exhuast at all. He is still driving around with it. Dynomax bullets next to the drive shaft/ tq arm on both sides.

Over the axle custom duals.
Non-mandral though.
ProKit springs.

I've got under the axle true duals and I'm lowered on the eibach pro-kit. Not really that bad. I never scrape my exhaust. However, I often scrape my BMR crossmember.

i think i can sum it up by saying, a kit has a little more of a chance of scraping unless you have shop install it as tight as possible, a custom setup can be made to get the most out of your ride height

I'm on the Pro-kit and have custom duals with Magnaflow 4x9s. Never really encounter speed bumps but I do have to be careful when going into gas stations and such. Unless I go real slow and on an extreme angle, I'll scrape the mufflers (I think) a little bit. My system's tucked like **** right now though.
