depends how low your car is. dont go straight over a speed bump. try to go in an angle. like almost sideways...

I'm pretty low on neuspeed races and i go about a 45 degree angle into bumps and humps, My lip kit don't get scraped, but recently after I got the Greddy, the catback scrapes like crazy, the sound makes me want to cry. Its because the catback is lower than the oem catback. Now its fine because I just go into driveways and humps differently, maybe about 15 degree angle. You just gotta work your way to it and test it. Sometimes it depends on how many ppl you have in your car too.

im riding stock height but I usually just keep the the far right, I dont how the ones over there are but hte ones here have a gap on the side only 2/4 of your tires need to go on the hump.

I really hate those things.

People are always like "HEY HEY HEY!" because i'm about to scrape but I never do unless i'm getting out of my driveway.. Steep and thin.. not a good combo. Sometimes I manage to get out without scraping it. I usually have someone watch me and tell me if i'm about to scrape or not. You get used to it..

i hate it when people always try to go at a speed bump at an angle with their stock cars... it gets annoying.

i also think it doesn't really help if you take your car at an angle on your dropped car. it'll still scrape

those spikes are ment for going 1 way only. if it says "dont enter" then you shouldnt go in that way.

if your exhaust scrapes, check the hanger on the stock downpipe / cat. i had mine scraping forever and when i got under it to change the oil, the downpipe hanger was off. no more scraping at all after mounting the downpipe back up.
