Default Lowered with Mufflex?

Here's the plan. I'm going to be putting some LG Motorsport Super Springs on the car in the near future. This will be 1 3/4" roughly. I'm thinking of getting a Mufflex system for X-mas, and am wondering if the 4" will have clearance issues. I'd rather go duals, but I had 3" TD's scrape on my stock susp. 02 Z28. Any lowered guys running a 3.5" or 4" system?

I ran the 4" with no problems from a 3" y with a 3' to 4' flowmaster collector.
Had dual electric cutouts on each side of the y and had no problems with clearance. My springs were cut about 1' as well. Hope this helps.

I have 2.5 duals all the way out the back now and it totally blows away that mufflex. Get the Mufflex if you are planning to move air! Like a turbo setup.

Duals out the back might be a good choice too. I just need to keep it halfway quiet inside the car ( got a baby due in May). 3" TD's dumped with 1chamber Flowmasters was too just too loud. I was thinking the Mufflex b/c it's got a good sound and flow, but not too loud. What mufflers are you running?
