Bit off topic but some speed bumps can be stupid. There is some near me and standard cars almost scrape on them.

I don't get how your Manifold sits so low.

I had a 4-1 Sportex one and it barely sat lower than the bumper line, and I NEVER had any issues with it scraping atall. Even when popping myself up kerbs or whatnot...

The only speed bumps round my area are those like in the picture; a raised bit of tarmac about 5' wide. There's a load of them in Aldershot and the track of my car is wide enough to drive over it without even feeling a bump - completely useless - I don't even need to slow down!

I'd do the same as you've put. Wrong side, aim for 1 and 2 diagonally.
