ARK exhaust clearance

I have been thinking about picking up an ARK GRIP exhaust but was concerned about how low the canisters appear to hang. For those of you that are using an ARK exhaust, are your cars lowered? If so, do you have any clearance issues?

I have an Eibach pro kit and was curious if I would drag over speed bumps or even on an inclined driveway.

Thanks

I'm at stock height and I have scraped on steep inclines a couple times, I also bumped one time over a speed bump, but if you take angles and avoid the crazy stuff you should be good to go!

I'm lowered on KW V3's. The canisters never ever hit. The only thing that does is the mid pipe, and that's because its sitting about 2.5 inches off the ground. On eibschs you will have ZERO problems unless you drive over a speed bump at 60 mph lol

Im on Eibachs with Ark and have had no issues clearing driveways, speed bumps, steep inclines... Just like everyone above mentioned, go slow and angle... if you hit the speed bump too fast your gonna scrap eventually... it happened to me once when this stupid speed bump came outta no where and jumped right out in front of me... but you will be fine... no worries bro !

Thank you for all the help. I am going to have to pull the trigger on this... I was hoping to hear about some horror stories so I could convince myself not to buy this and save some $$$.

Yep, we got a lot of stupid speedbumps like that here in Guam.
