You caught the part in the video where it says the car they used has been lowered with KW V3 coilovers, right? So don't get your underwear in a wad over how close the exhaust is to the ground in the video, as it's not representative of how low it'd be on a car with stock suspension height. And if perchance you've lowered your car, well . . . that has nothing to do with the design of the exhaust. Reducing ground clearance is what happens when one lowers his/her car.

Yea, I totally understand the car is lowered, hence the reduced ground clearance in the video. And I know that clearance won't be an issue when the car isn't lowered. I was just curious to ask since FI also has low ground clearance and at this point I'm trying to decide between these 2 exhausts so if I knew which one had better ground clearance would make the decision a little easier for me. Especially if I end up using coilovers.

Ah, I understand now. You know, I was comparing pics of the FI with the ARK, and I was about to say that there's no real difference between the height of the flanges of both designs. But then I went back and replayed ARK's video, and I'm not so sure I agree that the flanges are the lowest point. It might just be the camera angle, but it looks to me like the front edge of the mufflers actually sit a little lower, and that's probably due to having to make room for the extra resonator / backpressure tube up top.
