even if it does go under the lca it shouldnt scape as long as your not trying to straddle something in the road.

finally another RSR GT2 owner, i too have this exhaust, and if I don't scrape you won't either

I don't scrape anything daily driving, and this is how low my exhaust is

ya since its under the lca, its also under the rear wheels, so it will have a harder time scraping, but what about the midsection, will that hang lower then stocK?

what if i accidentally make a left turn onto some train tracks and there's a unconscious ***** on the tracks.

will it scrape the *****?

no one can answer every single situation that may arise, if you're so concerned then why bother?
