Default pic of your exhaust, Y- pipe hanging low?

Hey guys, I am currently very paranoid about my Y-Pipe scratching the floor everytime i drive, it seems like it is the lowest point of the car. I have f-sport exhausts on my is250. Its lowered on bcr coils with a finger width gap on 18 in SA55m, when i crawl under, it looks like the pipe is 2-3 inches from the floor. anyone can share their pics of their exhausts, either fsport or not, and share their solutions or they left it.

Yes the Y pipe is the lowest point of the car. It will only scrape if you go over a speed bump straight on. I have scratched it a couple times, but due the rubber hangers, it holds up perfect.

It's nothing to worry about

Sorry for the iphone photo, but the brace hangs down probably half an inch more than the Y-pipe



As for the drop, this is where I stand currently. If I have 2 or more passengers, I DO scrape the brace

Lol yeah Josh, mine is pretty beat up too, but oh well no one sees it, and it does what it needs to do
