scraping the bottom of the car over speed bumps

[EKayallday]

my car is lowered, I go at angles over speed bumps but at times when I can't go far out so that my rear wheels go one at a time over the speed bump (when a car is occupying the neighboring lane) and i'm force to just drive straight. the mid section of my car scrapes. what damage is being done to what part? I looked under and I believe its the exhaust that gets scuffed the most? the oil pan is pretty much right below my legs in the car so I know its not hitting that.

jack it up and look up underneath it.

Did you roll your fenders?

simple solution= raise the car up

this has nothing to do with the bottom of the car scrapping.

@op yes your exhaust scrapes. you can either raise the car or try to tuck the exhaust up. Personally I smile every time my car scrapes

You wont be smiling when you have a hole in your exhaust pipe.

I'm still running a stock exhaust. I have some 2.5" piping sitting in my kitchen

yeah my sedan scrapes too. its harder when thers 3-4 person in it... i get just around 3-4 inches ofg clearance from the tarmac.
speedbumps are everywhere over here. i scrape the center part of the exhaust everyday.
but exhaust pipes are aplenty here, so looks wins it...

What are you dropped on, out of curiosity?

Or worse if he pinches the exhaust pipe!

So what shocks & springs do you have?

like I said I have a complete exhaust system sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. If I either scrape a hole or pinch it's an easy swap. Exhaust piping is easy to come by.

Are you asking me? I'm currently running tockico blues with skunk2 sleeves.

..and what happens when the new exhaust has a hole or pinch in it?

 

[Mysteryemotionz]

Buy a new one duh

In all honestly when I replace the exhaust I'm gonna tuck it up as far as I can to help prevent it from happening. As it is already I avoid known speed bumps/pot holes as much as I can.

You gotta pay to play. either raise the car or realize the being Slammed is going to cost you. On the Lexus I've broke my exhaust twice now, lost a mid flap and had to replace the front lip. Its usually stuff on the highway our like you said can't angle enough.
