Default Lowered with Borlamouth/Loudmouth?

I'm not sure which forum this should be in Exhaust or Suspension.

I'd like to run the Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but I'm not sure if I'll have to change my exhaust.

Does anyone have either of these setups?

I had that exhaust before and it doesn't matter what catback you have, you're still going to scrape.

I have a dynomouth with those exact springs, and the exhaust never scrapes.

Scroll about halfway down and you'll see a ground clearance pic of my old Loudmouth setup with Prokit springs.

How much do you do/did you scrape with that setup.. I'm gonna have a XR-1 in place of the bullet.. A bit bigger.

Hopefully everything will be ok..

I scraped my 2.5", catted custom Y-pipe a lot more than the LM resonator, but I didn't use the car as a daily driver either, so I had the luxury of avoiding bad roads, speed bumps, etc. It's a tight fit, but IMO as long as you use caution going over bumps and such you'll be okay.

I have the same set-up you are talking about, SLP Loudmouth and Eibach Pro Kit Springs. I have never scraped but take caution when driving over speed bumps!

I have the loudmouth and my resonator hangs pretty low. I'm always scraping it. You just have be careful driving on certain roads.

you just have to be careful.. my girls car has the loudmouth, and is on sportlines, which is more of a drop, than the pros.. it doesnt seem to rub, but were REALLY cautious anyway.

I ran Sportlines with my LT's, ORY, and dynomouth setup. Never had a problem just had to stay away from huge speed bumps. Now I'm Hooker and love it.
