BBK Clearance
Since I've lowered my car the factory cats scrape my driveway (slightly) when pulling in and out. I looked to getting Solo HF cats, but they said that those actually hang slightly lower than the factory cats. Does anyone know the footprint/clearance on the BBK headers with HF cats? If I can get a 1/2 inch of additional clearance I should be good.

Are you turning straight up the driveway, or taking it on a good angle. The more angle you try the less chance of hitting the cats.

My BBK LTs w/ HFC hang lower than the stock ones...if you are scrapping those you are def gonna scrap the HFCs.
Are you 100% sure it is the cats scrapping? |

yes, i go in and out at angle.....unfortunately there is a large hump for water control at the head of my driveway, which goes down a steep hill to my house. I barely scrape and not even all the time if I hit it just right. I'm mostly concerned about wearing a hole in the cats over time. Any other suggestions?

unfortunately not much that can be done unless you went back to stock height.
if i was you i would just keep a few steal plates and make your own little on ramp |
