Default stock exhaust????????? lowered car..

i noticed that my stock piping on the bottom is basically flat if i get hooker headers and a y pipe will it be round? also my car is lowered so will i risk scraping almost everywhere if it is round??

It fits fine, and the pipes are round. My car is lowered and there is still clearance. Just do a good job installing the exhaust.

My car is stock ride height. It has a 3" Edelbrock Y, it's about 1/2" from hitting the floorboard.
You can see the ground clearance sucks. If you want to run a 3" Y on a lowered car you're going to need to beat the crap out of the floor for clearance to get the pipe as high as possible.

I'm lowered too, You just have to be careful.

If you get like a PAce headers and Y-pipe, only a section of the Y-pipe is flat at the top to clear the frame and wont bang on the floor board. After the Pace y-pipe install I never had a banging issue.

You will have to be more careful but it is definitely daily driveable. I have kooks lts with a kooks y and a section of it is flatten. My buddy just put on his american racing lts and y and it also has a flatten section.
