I have Hooker headers on my vert. I cant see why it would be any different from a coupe.

No issues on my at all. 5 year old Grots on mine. Now if you lower the car it (the exhaust in general) will hit all the time on steep inclines/declines.

You live in Houston...there are no bump or hilly drives ways there.

What Y-pipe you running...I use to hit everything in Atlanta, not the LT's mind you, but the Y-pipe/Cats when mine was lower with the eibachs. Put mine back to 4 wheeler stock height.

I intend this week (just ordered Bilstiens) to put on my Hotchkis 1" lowering springs, do you think I'll have major scrape? or just a little, maybe speed bumps?
Johntownsend, how did you get the headsup display? that is something I always wanted to do!
