Default Exhaust cutout clearance issues?

hey guys,

I am wanting to put on a set of electric cutouts but i am concerned with ground clearance, do you foresee any additional clearance issues if they were added on? car is lowered 1.6" with kooks longtube headers. just wondering if anyone else had an issue with this, trying not to waste $400 to find out if i don't have to.

I'm dropped about the same. I rotated the cut-out so the bolts weren't on the bottom and don't really have a issue. But when you can't run over a beer can without draggin you get kinda gun shy to really see

what brand cut-out did you go with? I was looking at DMH.

Thats the one I got. I think the E-Cut out is one of the best mods I have on my car! You can tune the sound to just what you want when you want!
