Default Axle Dump

Anyone have pictures of clearance with an axle dump exhaust and lowering springs? Also where’s the best location for a single dump? Wondering if my muffler will scrape. The muffler size is 18x9x4 with a 3” outlet. Keeping stock headers (smog) and slp y pipe

You scrape your dumped exhaust on driveways?

After looking at images of dumped exhaust I now see how they could scrape on a driveway.

That's probably a little lower then normal due to the fact I ran true duals, no Y pipe here. I scrape quite often, but the roads in Texas are far from stellar.

I'm running 3" exhaust straight off of Hooker super comp headers. No catalytic converters. Straight back to Flowmaster super 10 mufflers dumped right at the axle. Suspension is stock SLP equipment: Billstein stage II shocks with Eibach lowering springs.
