Exhaust height help

Hey guys,
I'm currently having an issue with the height of my exhaust. I have my car lowered on S Techs which have settled to prob around a 2inch drop. Now normally i have no issues with height because I can take things on an angle but my new apartment has underground parking and i have to take the incline straight the and my exhaust scrapes. So instead of causing damage I'd like to get a different exhaust. I was thinking of going with the magnaflo exhaust due to the price point. Is it higher than the stock exhaust.

Now im not very technical with cars but the place that it is scraping is between the resonator and the muffler if you guys have looked under the car you'll prob understand its the place where the pipes(connecting pipe?) dip a bit right before the resonator itself.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't expect an aftermarket exhaust not to scrape, it will scrape even more due to it's larger diameter to start with.

Your best bet would be making a custom exhaust that comes out from the side right after your front wheels lol

I think you're talking about the part of the mid pipe that feeds in right before the muffler right? That parts bends downward.

If so, maybe consider this:

From the pics, you can see the part you're worried about bends outward instead of downward. I know the seller personally and can vouch for him. Good price too.

You could try a new exhaust, but most aftermarkets usually sit lower. That borla looks pretty good though how it goes to the side. Or if you want to save some money with out going to an aftermarket, maybe go to an exhaust shop and see if they can do something in the way of cutting that section out and routing it a different way so it sits higher.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Unfortunately I was/am hoping the magnaflow one has the same bend or i might aswell just spend an extra 800 bucks and get air ride instead of the $1800 exhaust
