Default Speed Bumps

Looking to get a setup of true duals, Im thinking i want to get Kooks LT's with an X pipe, cats are possible but i doubt it, and i probably some bullets, Just curious as to if u guys running over or under the axle TD's have trouble going over speed bumps, do the headers or the exhaust scrape, Stock height or are you lowered?

Thanks Mike

Stock height with QTP y-pipe will hit on medium sized speed bumps. And I'm not talking like a little scrape.

Switching from sportline to pro kit bc i bottom out EVERYWHERE! and it sounds so nasty when it bottoms out. if you go slow and know the roads you'll be fine though. i just get a little antsy sometimes...

Your car must sit high or you have very small speed bumps there....I scraped on some of ours when stock exhaust was on.

it also depends on how well of a job you get done on mounting the exhaust. i was able to get mine tucked up pretty high so the headers were actually the lowest part of the car.
