Exhaust scraping. What to do?

[Ron]

Get some jacking rails. They will scrap before your exhaust does.

You should be brand specific on the jacking rails. I have the Steeda full length rails (555-5212) & the OE exhaust system is below them. Then again, I did not purchase them to double as 'skid plates'.

What are you scraping on? I have SP763s and I have whacked my Borla resonator on a couple of particularly poorly installed lego-style speed bumps.

I scraping on my driveway and I could only imagine what it would do with speed bumps. How is the ride on those springs?

They're a little bit more harsh than the stock PP springs but I didn't notice much of a change otherwise, aside from the ride height. I wasn't expecting a big change since I am on stock PP dampers, still.

Here’s a pic of the ground clearance with TSP headers with CJ/Magnaflow tru x pipe and steeda progressives.

Front. I am just putting this for reference. Still have to figure out which route to go.

Rear.

I am considering the FR3 struts & shocks with minimum drop springs. Anyone have this combo?

There are a few who do. @Aurum most recently. You'll enjoy it.

Love the setup. OEM ride quality, better cornering, more planted feel. I've always been afraid to accelerate quickly out of turns but especially when paired with the BMR lockout kit my confidence level is +100.

I really like the look of the Steeda progressive but it’s either I scrape and eventually have a exhaust leak or put resonator delete x pipe back on and make neighbors mad.
I am going to order the
Steeda minimum drop springs
Steeda non adjustable struts and shocks
BMR CB005

You sure it still won’t scrape ?
That’s a lot of effort and cash spent to find out she’s still may crash out. Your current pix of system hangs awfully low at midpoint.
Just saying.

That’s what I am worried about is changing springs and it still scrapes. I Took my car to the muffler shop and they moved it up some and it doesn’t scrape so bad now but don’t know how long that will last.

It should be good raising the car up 0.5"

Your car looks good low, that’s why you lowered it right.
Jacking it up .500” ain’t gonna do much. That’s a gamble I wouldn’t take.

Honestly, you should give thought to Milltek exhaust system with the EC approved resonator to silence the longtubes. Not sure if Milltek will sell just the EC resonator.

I have it also with BMR lock out, I am happy with it and have yet to scrap any part yet.
