I have Flowtech flow tubes as well as Flowtech Afterburner lers and they don't hit. Are you using lers with an offset inlet and outlet?

BBK's suck.  I have BBK ceramic coated shorties (awesome headers) but the h-pipe hangs WAY low.  I can't go over any speed bumps with any people other than myself in the car without MASSIVELY sing.  It's the worst sound ever.  I think the whole shiznit's gonna tear off next time, no joke.  granted I have coil-overs and a wicked lowered stance but still, even visually it looks like .  I can stand on a level surface looking at the car from about 15 ft away and see all the pipes hanging down.  garbage.  just my 2 cents and also, i'm venting after all the problems I've had with my family (extra weight) in town and using my car to be tourists!  LOL

the lers are offset  inlet/outlet .well theres enough room to put one finger inbetween the driveshaft and the ler on the passenger side witch is the one im worried about hitting .also does anyone have a problem breaking the ears the bolts go threw on the starter?becuase i just pulled one with both ears broke off the starter was just sitting there.
