How much are you lowered? There is only so much room you can use on these cars, you may have to go with different springs, or just take it really careful driving around uneven roads and speedbumps.

There isn't really much clearance to be had if you're just running the mufflers right after the headers.

How freakin loud is that current setup?

I need to see a picture, it sounds like you just stuffed a 3 inch pipe on the collector and then the muffler. If this is the case you will have less clearance. The pipes need to be angled up some then bent back so there is more clearance. doing this will give you a little more room, and hell even an inch is alot with TD's. You could rent a welder and do it yourself or take it to a shop and have them bend them correctly
