Default Think I will have clearance issues?(PIC'S INSIDE)

I know I will. Bilstein/Intrax setup. Love the look, hate the clearance. It's not a DD so I will be fine.

I'd say 2-3" inches. You'll scrape eventually just be careful. Looks good though!

Damn that looks sick!! Sometimes you gotta give some (clearance) to get some (better looks/performance). Yea you will have a few issues. Just try to drive on nice roads

Just watch for potholes, speedbumps, and curbs going into driveways. You will be alright, my exhaust used to be that close. Like Merv said, you won't scrap as much as you think you will. Unless you are a really big fella and will make it sit a little lower than that.

Thanks for the compliments all. I took it out for a few miles and had no issues. I put new exhaust clamps on cause it would scrape before I lowered it with the crappy U-bolt style clamps. This is right after I lowered it lol

My headers are about that low also but I dont scraped them I only scrape the driver side of my ory but i'm not worried about it because I want to repace it with a custom built one with a flowmaster merge. Like the others said You will be fine but you will have to get use driving it and avoiding certain bumps, driveways, and etc.

my xpipe on my old lt1 was a bit higher and I will tell you, you will scrape and, at night, you will have light show going on underneath your car....
