i would say to maybe grind down the bottom of the flange where the exhaust bolts together. I have a tsudo exhaust as well but i am only dropped 1.75f and 1.5 r on 215 45 17. I have rubbed going over speed bumps a few times.

Hah, welcome to driving a lowered car. EM/ES's have a pretty shallow exhaust tunnel too, so they tend to hang low with aftermarket stuff. (My Integra is almost a full inch lower than my Civic was, and I almost never hit the exhaust). It will scrap on speed bumps and when you go up a ramp like at the end of a driveway with a sidewalk, but it shouldn't be any really bad damage. You could have a shop just weld the pipes together and ditch the flange, or grind away like elemental said. Or just see how bad it is, and go from there. A little bit of scraping won't hurt it too much as long as you take it real slow as you scrape.

get a bigger rim and a bigger tire or don't drop that low.

The lower you go, the more compromises you have to make. Whether that means scraping, or a lot of negative camber to clear your fenders...it probably isn't going to be like stock, hah. Since you're getting coilovers, I would start higher than that and see how it goes. After a while if you want it lower, then go for it. Just make sure you get an alignment both times or you'll shred your tires in no time.

im thinking of cutting the lower part and welding on a smaller tube and angle it a little higher to be almost flush with the heat sheald im not worried about performance loss i mean **** its a vp non vtec i basically got the exhaust to make it sound nice.how much do you think that would cost at a shop it cant be that much??????.......ya and my style isant exactly normal i want lots of wheel poke im going towards more of a hybrid tuner/lowrider look .

closer to the heat shield might mean more banging and noise, especially in the rain.
