Default Over axle pipe

Has anyone lowered their car with the Eibach ProKit (1.3 - 1.5) and installed an aftermarket exhaust system (Corsa preferably) and has the over the axle pipe hit the axle when you bottom out the car gong over a bump or dip in the road or whatever. Did it hit the pipe? Or is there sufficient clearence between axle and over axle pipe?

Unless you're doing some dukes of hazard jumping, you're not going to have a problem

Another question, did you have to flatten the over axle pipe? The stock pipe comes flattened so did you bet the new pipe kinda flat or did you leave it nice and round? Thanks

I have the magnaflow catback exhaust with stock y-pipe and manifolds.

I also have the eibach lowering kit on my car. I only scrap on the extremely high speed bumps. Most of the time I have no problem. Just take the bumps slow so you don't rip anything out. lol.
