pro-chamber sits kind of low?

hey, ive got a mac offroad prochamber on my car with an slp catback. other than that the car is pretty much stock, no suspension mods
ive had the car for about 4 months and sometimes, maybe about 3 or 4 times, ive acually bottomed out and scraped the box part of the prochamber goin over a speedbump or something. anyone have this problem or hear of it sitting a little low? im only concerned because im lowering the car soon and i dont want to cause any problems like ripping my exhaust off

Re: pro-chamber sits kind of low?

When I installed mine, I used a floor jack under the chamber to lift up the chamber. I left about 1/2" clearance between the chamber and the drive shaft and though I sill will bottom out sometimes, it is because my car was lowered nearly 2".

I was lazy had an exhaust shop put my h on. It scraped everywhere, so i loosened everything up and did as above.

The only problem I had is when I jacked up the piping, the exhaust tip hangers started poking into the bumper cover and had to be trimmed.

just watch out for that
