Ground clearance - Nismo w/ FI exhaust
 
Friends,
I'm getting close to the time when I will install the FI CF CBE on my Nismo. I have a small concern about entering and exiting my driveway. I have to take a pretty hard angle to avoid scraping my front lip. Thus far, I thankfully have not smacked it... but I did in my 350Z a few times.

Can any of you advise whether I'm going to have sufficient clearance once I get my front end up? Or is it possible I'll still scrape in the back? I'm trying to envision this in my head but I'm curious about your experience.

Thanks!

I have never scraped my FI exhaust anyplace. But I'm at stock ride height. I do scrape the lip from time to time. You didn't mention if your lowered or not?

I have a very steep driveway in which one of my rear tires always come off the ground do to the angle I have to take it. I have not scraped my exhaust yet, though my front lip may from time to time. I don't have FI, but my AAM cans hang about the same and my car lowered as well.

I have swift springs on my nismo with FI exhaust and i havent encountered any problems. Front lip scrapes from time to time but as far as the exhaust goes, no scrapes
