This DP ended up about 1.5" in diameter after about 3 weeks... w/ h22 the oil pan sits much lower.
with B series swaps there is so much more ground clearance and plenty of room to tuck a 3" dp under it

My Prelude has like 1.5 inches of ground clearance because if my e-cutout. I am currently relocating the cutout so it dumps out the side of the front bumper, because I cant deal with scraping all of the time.

Mine scrapes a lil bit. It usually just hits the flexpipe. I have a 2" drop or so.

Here's some reference pics.

Here's how low she is...



And here's the downpipe, I think I've raised it up about 1 inch since this was taken, top pic is how she sits now. (look for the rusty color under the car)

i'm pretty damn low on coilovers too, and my 3 inch only hits on really high speed bumps or shitty unpaved roads sometimes, it only hits the flex pipe so it's all good

would like to give another to This One @ OneFab for making me a killer 3'' dp for my inlinepro with the compressor facing the drivers side
