Default Header Clearance
I recently swapped from flowtech long tubes to the new TSP headers. At my apartment complex I noticed that my collectors scrape whenever I go over the speed bumps. Any suggestions on how I can protect my new headers?

Is you car lowered? If it is you would have to raise it back up to stock height, if its at stock height there really isn't much you can do.

You might just have some monster speed bumps and the only solution is to go slow over them and at an angle. See if that works
