Stock exhaust scraping after sway bars?
 
I just put on some eibach sways(freaking awesome btw), waiting to do the coils next but I just took it for a drive and my stock pipes scraped on my driveway...never happened before.

Im wondering if I somehow bent the pipes while sliding the new sway over them.

Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Of course Im all worried now as I dont want to scrape with the FI exhaust when that arrives, and I still havent lowered the car yet....ugh stupid driveway sucks:shakes head:

Where did you scrape? Are you sure it wasn't just a mistake in taking the exit not enough sideways? Also, bending the exhaust pipes?? The only way I can think of you doing that is:
1) hammer them
2) you become all green and gigantic when you get mad

The pipes right before they turn up and have the flange before the stock muffler. Has drag lines on both pipes and I heard it.

Def not a driver error. Ive had the car for 2 months now almost and Ive never scraped...I always go in and back out at a very sideways angle.

Bending the exhaust was only a crazy idea..I agree it doesn't seem possible..and it doesnt look bent at all. I just dont understand how the car is lower...

Im gonna go get a 2x12 and lay it in front of the driveway for now. Neighbors are gonna love that lol
