When lowering, over the axle exhaust question So if I lower the car 1.25" does that affect over the axle exhaust clearance?
I am at stock height now but looking at lowering the car soon, I have a single 4" over the axle exhaust.
Problem?

^edit, thanks! I figured as much.
It is kind of tight now.
In my mind I see it as an issue, anybody? I'd rather not have to mess with it, but if its going to be an issue I need to know about addressing it. Will I need an upper aftermarket panhard?
Someone on here must be lowered with a 4" exhaust.

4" is pretty huge! Here's a link to what you may need.

A good way to tell is to put the car on four ramps and have someone lean on the back. Watch the clearance. Then maybe bounce it a bit while watching.

You running a 4" VinR1? I figure I'm going to try it anyway, I think I just have my over the axle piping clamped, I can go back to a noisy turndown if necessary if it doesn't work after I drop the car. I'm also not going to do the heater hose mod so I'll have a little more space there.

No, mine is 3" but I have a good inch+ of clearance all the way around
If you're current 4" clears and doesnt rub, lowering wont affect a thing. Granted, your ground clearance will change but everything surrounding the over-the-axle pipe is fixed and wont move with the suspension
