Default Anyone ever bottom out their Macs??

I actually used to have them on my 99 Hawk but I lived in a different place and had different roads. I am now in the burbs and much more speed bumps and driveway type stuff. I will be running Macs thier ORY and Magnaflow exhaust. When I bought the car it had Hookers ory & TD's on it and its too loud and low for me. When I add the new system I wanna make sure its livable and practical as a DD in real life situations. Thanks.

I actually used to scrape the driver's side of the ory with my mac setup. I actually have better clearance now with pacesetter lt's/true duals than I had with macs/ory. If you want the best of both worlds, try longtubes/catted ypipe/SLP dual dual exhaust. It's one of the better flowing catbacks and is very tame sounding. If you're not lowering the car you should have plenty of clearance.

Never scraped mine, and I have random tech cats in the Y. I had the same setup (macs, ory, magnaflow) and I hated it. It sounded like a ricer's fart can between 2k and 3k.

Yeah I know Macs are a little raspy, but I loved them on my Hawk. I started w/ SLP T|LTs with ory, then macs ory then Kooks ory. I dont remember the macs being bad at all. My SLPs were crazy with the Borla wide open. That **** was loud and raspy.
