If you're not scraping you're not low enough ;)

angle it or tough it out...on some angles it's not possible not to scrape. Just develop a strong stomach I say

ChrISF 10-09-09 03:09 PM

lol yea either raise your car, or take off the exhaust. besides, no one sees your exhaust anyways so whats the big deal?

pretty hard to angle it so the mufflers don't scrape. i have that problem on my g35.

I think it has more to do with the fact that YOU know it's there though other may not be able to easily see it... I know this feeling and the more anal you are the more it weighs on you. I attribute it to OCD haha...

This doesn't have to do anything with the exhaust, but I've heard of people putting a velcro strip on the bottom of their front lips, so everytime they come across an elevated surface, the lip doesn't get scratched. Perhaps their is a heat resistant adhesive where you could do something similar to the exhaust

It is actually is his exhaust if he has an aftermarket.

Also another thing you may try to do try not to that much weight in the back/trunk it'll make the back sit a little bit higher and it might just be enough.

depending on the width and entrance of your drive way, i would say the only way to avoid scraping with your current setup is to come in at an angle. Go up and down one wheel at a time. Either that or go AIR!
