lowered sedan on swift springs with ark grip exhaust question
I am thinking about purchasing the Ark grip exhaust for my 07x sedan, and am wondering if anyone has had problems with it scraping?
I've heard the mufflers/resonators sit pretty low. I am on swift springs with about 1-1.5 in drop all around
Think it'll be good / does anyone else have this setup?

I have the Ark exhaust and am on tein stechs (-1.9"f and -1.8"r), I don't have much of an issue with the canisters scraping. I have only nicked the front of the canisters a couple of times on a few speed bumps when going down too fast, I have yet to scrape the canisters themselves or the tips.
But the resonators and forward I have scraped the $%!# out of numerous times even though I have been careful and taken the best angles that I could. I haven't gotten the car on to a lift to look at the exhaust since I put it on, but I'm sure it would look pretty ugly now.
Your car looks to be about an inch higher than mine all around, I think it shouldn't scrape much if at all if you take the right angles.
Edit:
The areas in red below are the areas that I have scraped on, so yeah pretty much the front of the canisters and the resonators forward as you have heard. LOL

im lowered on BC coils, dont know measurements, but i dont have any tire-fender gap at all. i have not scraped the canister or the tips a single time in about 10k miles. what i do scrape, possibly once every few days cause of speedbumps, is the midpipe and resonators cause they hang really low
