how lows yours at the rear? mines 80mm with sportex backbox never hits any bumps maybe because your fronts not lowered its at more of an angle like this ......

Will be nothing to worry about. Everytime i get on and off my drive my cars scrape, should see the state of the curb has never damaged anything though.

All depends really, when i used to have people in the back the exhaust would hit the underside or the car, mainly because the center pipe is missing a hanger :/

my car is forever hitting bumps in the road lowered 60mm front 80mm back the 4-1 mani allways hits the bump and if you take it up the lanes it sparks from the mani propper hitting the floor but its had a metal plate welded on so its like a skid pan thingy so im safe for ages but my old mani used to hit speed bumps sometimes

blow lamp is no where near hot enough, when we have to heat them its close to actually melting the steel before it wants to bend properly
