i was pulling into a shop (valvoline) to put some air in my tires. I asked one of the guys who worked their if it looked like my exhuast would clear the lip of the pit.

"yeah you got like 2 inches at least"

My Apex'i exhaust hangs even lower than that. Nice sounding and performing exhaust, but it hangs way too goddamn low and it doesn't have stainless steel piping.

Sorry about yours
