well.. the true duals will be tight. Haven't seen a car with the hooker.. but I'll bet they'll be tight too.

Default Am I asking for trouble?

My car is lowered with G2 springs on stock shocks. I have BMR boxed subframes. And now I'm getting Hooker longtubes and true 3" dual exhaust back over the axle. Am I asking for lots of trouble as far as ground clearance? I can keep from going over speed bumps, but will I be scraping everywhere I go? Would stiffer shocks help out? TIA

My friend has the SLp's and if the Hookers are anything like the SLP's. They are going to scrape. I have the Hotchkiss springs, up front only, on mine with FLP's and haven't had a scraping problem yet. Of course I immediately recognize an aggresive driveway and enter at an angle. The BMR's sit in there pretty low too. I think as long as you use common sense you should be fine as far as scraping is concerned. Sounds like a serious exhaust mod. I'm doing something similar, except stopping before the axle.
