Default Angled Exhaust and lowering???

I am planning on getting a A'pexi N1 exhaust, 5 ZIGEN FIRE5ZIGEN EXHAUST, or an HKS HI-POWER EXHAUST and I was wondering if I am going to have problems with scraping? My car is lowered on H&R Race Springs.

It'll happen, your resonator is usually the victim of scraping.

Maybe he posts it here because he knows that most of us will answer faster than the other forums and most of us also know our shit:slap:

No you shouldn't have any problems with the exhaust scraping under normal conditions. You will learn to angle steep drives and such but the worst it will do is zing the tip a bit...nothing major.

Thanks, That is the reason I posted here.

Does this seem like a decent exhaust? http://www.robearracing.com/pd_invidia.cfm Is it going to be angled?

No, I do not like Invidia. I do like your previous choices though.

If it is an N-1 style shouldnt it be angled? I cant seem to find any of the choices I posted. The one I am really thinking about getting is the 5ZIGEN FIRE5ZIGEN EXHAUST.

The term "N1" is so whored up, kinda like "JDM".

I do not know if the Invidia is angled, either way I wouldn't buy it. The previous ones you mentioned are all angled.

you know...the angling does have a purpose? if your car does not have that last bend, then angling would just create more bends, which decrease the flow. like for integras, the skunk2 exhaust only has like 2 bends...so creating another bend for the "look" performance-wise, sucks.
