Exhaust mods?
« on: 11 December 2011, 17:20 »
Guys.

Got a bit of a shock last night, I went over a speed bump & heard a nasty scrape which I suspect to be the exhaust, I'm only lowered 30mm!!

Anyway what do people do who have really low cars?

Depends on what coilovers, mine is nearly wound as far down on the threads as can go and it's a very sensible height

I can get 2 fingers between my tyre and wheel arch on the front


The rear is also similar in height with just about 2 fingers gap between tyre and wheel arch.


I run a 3" decat and downpipe with a 2.5" catback exhaust and a 2.5" discrete tail pipe and none of it has ever caught on any bumps or anything.
