Which X-pipe has the best ground clearance? My Slp w/ cats sits kind of low and scraps everything, even though I had it cut and rewelded to give an extra 1" of clearance

Magnaflow and Bassani have great ground clearance, even with high flow cats. I've had both on my vehicle without issues. I've read from others that SLP has probably the worst clearance of those out there, no personal experience though.

Maybe you just need to cut more off. I have cut my SLP X with cats. After the cut the cats heat shield now touch the under body of the car (for the past two years) and there are no burn marks. I also cut the other side this past Christmas holiday. Speed bumps are pretty bad still.

And this is how low my car is, minus the stripe :idea:

My car is at stock height yet and I have the bassani catted x pipe. It tucks up nicely and the high flow cats are not much bigger than the piping. From the pic above those dang cats are huge compared to bassani. Will be doing H&R race springs in spring, hopefully it will be fine.
