New house driveway is destroying my exhaust

So here is a pic of my driveway


I saw the bridjit thing on amazon that works for curved driveways wondering if it would work for mine? My car is stock height, I can drive up the driveway at an angle and it will scrape only the bumper but the exhaust will always get banged up.

Any help guys?

Takes some trial and error. I'm lowered so pulling in I hit the driveway at an angle but keep the wheel fairly straight until I know both front wheels have climbed the slope then turn to garage. Now pulling out I need to totally turn the car around 180 degrees and so I'm forward facing and hit the same angle. luckily I have the space to do that. Alternatively I could back in and save my self the turn around. Get creative. But ultimately if the driveway is THAT bad you'll scrape every time. Yours seems doable.

Stock height and you can't clear that??! Lol
Don't lower your car op

You may scrape your feet off

I grabbed some rubber landscape thing I found at the depot, split it in two and covered it with some gravel at the end of my curb/driveway at wheel width. Don't scrape 90% of the time if I'm paying attention...still hit the angle just in case.

It's not always the size

Haha I have a similar parking lot driveway by my house that fuuggs my shib up. You wouldn't even guess by looking at it, its just how that sidewalk part comes to a point. I avoid that turn in for anything. The one to my house looks much worse, but I can angle it.

You need to enter and leave at a 45 degree angle, slowly! Your driveway entry doesn't look that bad!

Stock height and you aren't clearing that?

Are you pulling out nose first and hitting it on the way out?
