Try Hooker Lt's or Pacesetter. My car was lowered 2 inches when I bought it, and I used to scrape over really big speed bumps, but other than that, no problems. You cant see my Lts from the side either.

FLP tucks nicely on lowered vehicles.

I've got 1" more clearance with pacesetters/duals than I had with mac midlengths and off-road y-pipe. I'm lowered ~1.75" btw.

Usually what scrapes is going to be your y-pipe.

I say buy the XS headers. they tuck up very tight, and they are half the price
