    Clearance problems?

    I have the loudmouth 1 exhaust on my 2000 trans am. And whenever I go into steep driveways or over speedbumps i can hear it scraping. Anyone else have this problem? I don't have headers just a cat back.

    A metallic scraping? our cars are very low in general, could be anything. I have my LM1 welded on, so it may not be the same angles, but I don't have that problem. I'm always scraping up the freaking body.

    exactly. I got mine for like 250, but if I could do it again, I would do true duals. I would sell it off if I were you and have someone fab you something. I would but I'm out of cash right now.

    Which Y-pipe do you have SLP, stock GM? My car is lowered and ever inch count under there, I have the SLP Y and Loudmouth 1. Have you tried loosing all the hardware and retighten; I did this while applying pressure at the lowest point and found another 1/2" of clearance at it's lowest section in my case the "Y", have you found what has been scraping?

    I'm a betting man, but I want to know I'm right first. Like it's been said above, LOOK. See what's scraped up and go from there.

    I got underneith my car this morning and can't see any signs of scraping on any of the hardware. Any other ideas on what it could be?

    got a buddy with a lift? it would probably be easier to see that way. Could it be something else scraping.
