My car is lowered and I Don't seem to rub. I go slow so the car doesn't bounce. These are a dream here. At our last base the were on top of the speed bump. I got stuck/high centered on it and had to back up putting a hole in my y-pipe. They later took them out and added some like here

The hanging O2 sensor was the rear O2 thankfully...now to find and get rid of this exhaust leak that's been annoying the **** outta me, I think it's the header gasket but it's pointing down making it sound like it's coming from where the primaries merge...

crank it up andput ya hand close to header and head and see if any exhaust air hits your hand. if not go down to band clamps and put hands close to it and feel if and exhaust air hits your hand easiest way to find leaks. hope you didnt warp anything when ya jumped the curb and but that dent in ya y-pipe.

I'm pulling the timing cover off my car today right now. I re-routed the oil return line from the scavenge pump and the oil pressure still is too low for my comfort. 
I'm getting burnt out on working on this car, but I'm too OCD to quit when something isn't 100% right.

Cold start = 36 psi. Hot idle = 11-14 psi. Never passes 26 psi even if RPM's are 4,000 ++.
Thanks dude. I'll get it figured out. I'll inspect everything behind the timing cover and replace the pump and possibly oil pickup o-ring. See what readings I get. If that doesn't fix it, I'm afraid the motor has to be pulled.
