My Stillens stick out quite far, but not low, and it's never been an issue, and I have a 1" drop all round. I'd hit my exhaust joints before the tips anyway.
Ztoon, FI cans do sit much lower than any other system ive seen so far. One of the reasons i decided to go with stillen was knowing i was going to drop.

Must be nice living in SoCal where all the roads are smooth and lowered friendly.

Ok so, i did a quick photoshop of what you are asking, to be honest, i think it would look amazing, get a thicker tire sidewall, or, say like 20 inch rim in back, 19 in front. Being as interested as i am with the Viper community(dodge viper not the snake lol) a common thing is a bigger wheel in back, one inch smaller in front(i.e. american muscle lol) but in all seriousness, i think it would look good.

When I lowered my Z, I lowered the front by 1/4 more, which brought the wheel well gaps to the same amount front and back, so a 1/2 inch difference would look good too. It'll give it a mild rake...aesthetically pleasing.

Or, you can buy an exhaust that fits properly and then drop the car evenly.
