Car to Low 3" exhaust Hurting

My car is way to low and those big *** 3" exhaust just dont mix. I need to do one of the two either put the stock suspension back on. Or get new piping. Instead of the 3" piping go back to stock but put a y-pipe out of the headers into the exhaust. Any other suggestions? Im going to do one of the two soon I can even go over a **** speed bump without scraping the exhaust. The piping is sitting 1 1/2"-2" from the ground.

I would take the lowering kit out camaros don't need to be lowered, and the way your exhaust is run even a 2in would scrape on speed bumps

That's pretty low but SLP LT header's are known for that.

yeh ive been wanting to the stock SS suspension is good enough. But now to get a spring compressor, ill get one at checkers soon.

I was told that even if I do higher it, More then likley ill still be scraping the exhaust, not as bad but It will still happen. I was told to re route the exhaust tuck it in a little more, but I dont see how that would work either.

there is a way to do it, the big thing though is the headers can't be moved

yep, i just got off the phone with a friend who works at a exhaust shop and he told me to take the SS to the shop on Saterday and he would try and have something done. If possible. Hope that goes good.
