Default Exhaust ground clearance issues

I have some ground clearance issues with my S when I pull up into my driveway (that curb is a killer). I occasionally scrape the underside of my front bumper (detailing = $$$) when I pull up and I was wondering if installing a spugen exhaust (dual round w/ round tips) would be an issue. I have no problems with the rear end when I pull into my driveway, it's just the underside of the front bumper. The side skirts and undercarriage, but I'd hate to rip holes in a new exhaust. Any input would be much appreciated!

i have the dual ovals... the front scrapes on mine too over the driveway, unless i take it at an angle (which i now do), but never any issues with the rear. the exhaust has never been scraped-
btw, my car is lowered about an inch too...

Just make sure you buy a new Spugen exhaust. If you buy a used one and end up with the Version 1 you'll be even lower





^my car with a good 3 inches of drop + Spugen Version 1 Dual Oval

Funny thing is - the only time I ever put this exhaust on the ground was when I was only dropped an inch - maybe I am more careful with the lower drop.

I'm dropped on Eibachs (about 1.5 f, 2 r) and I brush the stock rear exhaust on speed bumps. I've pulled into a bad driveway when I brushed the frame directly under the seats, but it didn't touch the exhaust.
