Default QTP headers/y pipe - clearance?

How well do the QTP headers and y pipe fit under a lowered car? Will I scrape every imperfection in the road, or will I be ok?

Thanks

How lowered are you. I will try to get pics up this week off my car. But on myb car its a 99 with the ultra bilstein suspension with the slp eibach and its lowered 1". I have no issues what so ever. I also have my QTECs on there and that makes it hang lower. The lowest point on my car is the Spohn cross brace for the torque arm. I only scrap that going up a steep driveway. If you have any more questions feel free to call me.

Thanks for the reply!

My car was lowered 3/4" when I installed the Eibach springs and with settling it could be down an inch now. Yesterday I had duals with 3" xpipe (no cats) installed. All piping was hand made. My muffler surgeon is an expert and he made every attempt to get max clearance. A mass produced pipe could have less, but not more clearance. The driver's side, which is the lowest, has 3.25" clearance. Speed bumps, filler pipes in gas stations, etc. will require special attention, but that was the case also with the Grot ypipe.
