Exhaust HELP (SCRAPPING)

I have a 2001 SE dropped on eibach and KYB GR2, the problem is when I go up my diveway the exhaust tip (I have the 01 rectangular tip) scrapes and has started to bend has anyone else had this problem if so what did you do? Any suggestions will help I'm thinking about taking the tip off and having them shorten the exhaust pipe and add a differnt tip so it wont rub!! Will that work any suggestios will help.....

Steep driveway aprin, plus lowered car = scrape.

Try to go up your aprin on a harder angle.

the only answer you're going to get is angle as much as you possibly can, otherwise, you need to modify those tips go it wont scrape.

If you angle the car sideways coming into the driveway from the right side (i.e. take a right into the driveway) at about a 45 degree angle, there should be no way that the exhaust tips rub, since they will be at the highest angle.

If they still rub, there's only one thing left to do:

You have to sell the house. No other alternative.

take some heavy duty metal plate and place it between driveway angle and street level. this may increase the car high at that angle.

Just My two Cent, I don't know if will work, but I've seen people do it.

bring the car to a muffler shop and see if they can reposition the muffler higher

I went and they said they will cut the dual exhausts of and add new ones at a higher angle with a angled tip....
