Default Scratching the exaust

Hi guys, I have a steep driveway which my exhaust touches it slightly everytime I go up but coming down is fine. I was wondering If there would be any long term problems (eg. replacing the exaust etc).

Thx guys!

if you want to save your exhaust, you can approach the driveway at a 45 degree angle and then once all 4 wheels are on the driveway straighten the car out.

Even if u scratch it often, it should be strong enough to hold rite?

Might be worth a try. If it works you'll have the hang of it in no time.

I think you should be fine. the only thing is over a long period of time it could stress one of the welds enough for it to crack, but you can always have it re welded.

Other than being really annoying and scratching up the piping or muffler, whichever is doing the scraping, you should be okay.

Keep the speeds low and try and go in at an angle. That works for me on very steep entrances.
