3" DOWNPIPE ISSUES
I have a 1989 Honda CRX with a 3" downpipe. My problem is the pipe sits so low on the car that I'm afraid to lower the stance at all. Is there a such thing as an oval down pipe and exhaust? Any additional ground clearance would help!!! Thanks!!!

Re: 3" DOWNPIPE ISSUES (Legion)
In most cases, slammed cars aren't meant for serious racing AND street driving. You won't find any 'slammed' car in the top 5 of any drag series. As for road cars, they usually start cutting the body if needed, and only have 1" of actual suspension movement, let alone any need to clear a speed bump.
FWIW I made my own 3" for my EF. The only problem was the 5" round resonator, which still had an inch to go up (heavy-*** ~14ga steel weighing it down). The car was slightly tucking 16's at one point, and only scraped on very tall speed bumps.
Oval pipe is only a partial solution IMO. Hella expensive, and not much extra volume considering it's height.
