lowered - exhaust fscked

[VzVzVz]

Huh, my car's not even lowered, ut when I last saw my exhauhst underneath, it looked a bit squashed. It sounds alright and the power is still smooth. No harm done then.

Can't say I've ever seen an aftermarket exhaust with MORE ground clearance than stock, usually the stock system runs about as close to the underbody as you can get. If you're scraping your stock exhaust you need to raise your car, which if it's that low will bring you other benefits like better handling and ride comfort

maybe he doesnt care? he didnt ask for comfort, he wants low, he wants to know how to keep it low...., try hotdog mufflers, and push the clmaps up more maybe? ad bashplates?

That's fine, I'm just pointing it out. If he doesn't want to raise it, the only real option is adjust how and/or where you drive so it doesn't scrape! I'm sure there's a how-to on a Supra forum for driving sideways over speed bumps

sl's in back, granted only running 18s

its always right under the driver seat that scrapes

i know where i can/cant take it around here, where to go sideways etc its just places that get me by surprise with 3 dudes in the back that are killers (cardiff paintball)

check out your exhaust mounts, the exhaust may be not hanging right or slipped off its mounts somehow..

good point, i did have my o2 sensors replaced last year which involved dropping the exhaust, this was before lowering.

maybe your suspension is shot, go get the 10 point test at bobjane.. its only cheap, replace your springs with lowered ones and you will find it will stiffen up but still be comfortable..
