Even stock height, I think you just need to avoid speed bumps and inclines all together. Normal roads and driveways shouldn't be an issue though even if you're lowered slightly.
Speed bumps should be fine, even if it is lowered. You just need to take the speed bump normal and not fast. I put over 200 miles on the prototype car in 2009 and drove it in all kinds of places. I never scraped once!

Newbie here... Mode I can do easily w/ HP gain is a new exhaust.

I really like the sound of FI and Ark , but leaning toward FI because of the price, I will keep my stock Intake ,the only concern I have is clearance but Tony says it shouldn't be a problem.

My question is...
Should I go for Non-resonated or 12" or 18" Resonator? I don't like loud exhaust though.

Thanks for the Help guys

The bigger the resonator, the quieter the exhaust. Also, Tony has Carbon Fiber or Stainless Steel cans, the latter being the quieter. So there are several possible combinations you could go with. The quietest being the 18" res with SS cans. But if you wanted switch it up, you could do 18" resonators and CF cans or 12" resonator and SS cans... Those would probably give you the good medium you're looking for as far as sound/looks. All of the CBE's will give you the same performance upgrade.

Quite honestly, I thought the 12" resonated FI exhaust would be louder than it actually is. Granted, I also have high flow cats which adds significant volume but it is very livable and pretty quiet when cruising.

You need to get test pipes or the LTH's, my friend. I have the FI RTP's, and honestly, it is quite embarrassing turning my car on in the morning...it is so loud and it shakes my entire house! I love it, but my neighbors......ehhh that's another story

I have the same thing here in the apartment complex. (I have the LTH's) and it roars to life. LOVE IT!

If anyone were to complain to me, I'd say: "Sure I could make it quieter for you, you just give me the 20k I need to install twin turbos silencers, and she'll be quiet as a whistle..."

Haha, that is how it is already with me as my neighbor's house is literally right behind my garage and therefore get the full effects of my cold starts. The only thing I would replace my Berks with are a set of Motordyne Art pipes but I can't justify the extra money for a few more horsepower and slightly more volume.

The justify it with the huge chubb you know you'd spring when you crank it every day.

Maybe what you need are some LTH's...

Bierbeek which is near leuven.

la hulpe is most likely french belgium. I have driven around that region before and it seems much beter on the speed bumps. if I take the highway and I go from french part to dutch. its like "smooth roads" to "HOLY **** POTHOLES EVERYWHERE"
