)

I bought my car with SLP headers ORY and LM all ready on it. They hang like an old womans breasts. Im lowered if it wasnt bad enough. I scrape on anything and everything. Even a nice dip in the road at highway speeds Ive heard them lightly scrape. I went down a decent incline leaving a P-lot and nearly ripped the whole exhaust off, now my tips are angled slightly to the passenger side. I wouldnt put it on my car if it were free. Eventually I will buy something else, but focusing my available funds towards going faster not replacing crap I already have. With all that said I think the general thought on these is dont do it.

Just had a thought,.........If your shocks are pretty old or on they're way out,.wouldn't that have a great deal to do with why you scrape on dips and what not? I mean,..if they where Good...your shocks shouldn't let you bottom out that much. ....right?

My car was lowered, and it was a BAD idea with the SLP's on there. I went back to stock height and they ar emuch better but will scrape on the occasional bump, which is suprising considering how beat in they are on bottom.
