Default Exhaust ~ same ride height as stock

Hi guys, I'd like to know what cat-back exhaust systems have around the same ride height as the stock exhaust? Reason is I'm thinking of lowering my car but don't want to deal with pipes scraping every time I goto places.

A quality exhaust shouldn't have much issues with scraping. How much are you planning on lowering your Z? I dont believe too many people have an issue with scraping their exhausts when lowered moderately.

I am lowered on Tanabe NF210s and I currently have the full Nismo catback. I think either my Y-pipe of Mid-pipe scrapes. I forget which one hanging lower than the stock pipes.

Mid-pipe. I noticed my mid is a bit lower than stock. Thought it was because of the larger piping, 'softer' bends - or whatever. But - since I am stock hieght - no worries...

Not too worry. Cat back exhausts are tucked under the car pretty well. Mufflers under the rear axle, for example, may have limited ground clearance. But shorter springs for lowering will not alter components such as the rear axle. Axles, and other drive train components, are not “hung” from the springs.
