Default Lowering with Apex Exhaust?

I want to lower my coupe about 1.5 inches, but I have the apex ws exhaust on and the pipes hang really low. Does anyone know if you still get clearance with a 1.5 drop? HAs anyone lowered their car with an apex exhaust? If so, do you have pics?

I've heard that the mid-pipe scrapes. Try and get a muffler shop to pull it closer to the car. I guess?

It really depends on where you drive and how you drive the car with it on. I had avoided scraping with the N1 exhaust on a prelude, and it hangs really low in the car. You can go to a muffler shop and ask them to cut the hangers to raise piping up more.

I'm dropped 2" with Apexi Dunk. I've scraped my resonator, muffler and tip. Just take it slowly and don't worry about it getting scraped up. Nobody will see it anyways.

I have the Apexi RS on my 6g sedan and I'm dropped 1.8" on eibach sportlines. When I first had it put on...it hung really low and would scrape almost any sort of ramp/speed bump/slope/etc. An easy fix is to go to Midas or any other muffler shop and have them bend the hangers so that it sits higher...I was able to raise the cannister almost 2 inches using this method. Good luck and it shouldn't cost you more than $5-10.

I have the WS and am drop 1.8". I just bought two rubber stoppers from the hardware store, drilled two holes in each and replaced the two rearmost rubber hangers.
