Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

My cars dropped 1.5" and the cans seem plenty safe. It's mainly when you go over speed bumps that you want to make sure the axel hits it straight on as opposed to at an angle. So once the front lip gets over, you straighten out quickly.

The front of my car scrapes on everything if I'm not careful.

My front does the same thing. My dealer never installed the front sport lip trim which I'm glad, that thing would be gone by now

I scrape that very bottom lip of the front bumper that sticks down, but I'm fine with that so long as the front of the bumper itself doesn't scrape. I also have some problems with being caught on a bad driveway exit that is like a /\ and no matter how much angle you have, you still scrape on the underbody...

So are you saying I shouldn't go over dips and bumps at an angle? Also, I have a lot of speedbumps in my parking structure. I usually go over them with just my passenger side wheel while my driver's side goes between the 2 bumps. Should I avoid this and just go over it squarely with both wheels after I get the exhaust?

You can angle over the front, but make sure the back axle his squarely. Going over with just 1 wheel is a really bad way to do so since you don't know exactly how far everything is. If you have split bumps, best way to do it is take the gap between the bumps down the center so you have the most clearance possible...
