hello all. Don't know if this goes in tech forum....I recently had BBK LT headers installed with BBK h-pipe, and have noticed that the entrances to some of my favorite places have driveways that scrape the bottom of my x-pipe. I imagine this isn't good for the car lol. Any remedies? Do I have to raise the car's suspension? If so, what products do you think I should use? Thanks!

hello,i would recomend either buying taller tires or finding an alternate route.i know i have had to find alternate routes myself

welcome to the club... LT's and lowering springs mix great!!!

Is your car lowered?
If so I'd put the stock springs back on or fine a pair that wont lower it as much.
Do you have a car lift you can use? If so Raise the car put a tranny jack under the h pipe and lower the car lift just a little to bend it up.
I did that and the problem went away.
I have the stock springs on the car.

Thanks for the advice! I have the stock springs. I've seen cars that are super low approach the high point of the driveway at an angle going really slow, and they manage to avoid the scrape. That works for me sometimes, but for unfamiliar areas, I have to take my chances with speed bumps and such. I just had all four new tires installed (I had 2 blow outs in one week on the freeway), so i don't think i can afford new tires. I would consider raising it a little, but wouldn't it look a little weird, unless I had larger rear tires?

When I installed my straight pipes the x pipe was sitting a little low, so i put a jack under it and jacked it up to the height i wanted it at then tightened all the bolts as much as possible. It kept it up higher than it was which is good enough to get me over most speed bumps and high angled driveways.

i had the same problem. i just replaced the catted x with an o/r h and put a jack under it and lifted when i was tightening and everything has been fine since
