drive better... I see people with no wheel gap and a 10" muffler not scrape on big *** speed bumps so just learn how to drive around stuff. (size of muffler may not be true)

Don't worry Steve...I have the Apex Dunk and my Max is lowered...you just have to take the bumps slow, and watch out cause that Apex tip is DAMN thin, and it will bend!!

scraping......

do like everyone said...i drive my g/fs accord with a 2.25 inch drop..and i manage thru dips, driveways, and whatever else comes up...

slow down..go SLOW on speed bumps..

go sideways on steep driveways..dont rush when ppl are honking..if they were lowered..they'd understand

maybe a stiffer suspension would help here because it would mean less rebound on the highways etc...

Re: CRAZZZZZY

I don't think a stock maxima is supposed to scrape like that. Those dunk mufflers are pretty big, maybe that's our problem. Is it mounted properly, tucked up under that car? Or is it hanging really low? My car is dropped 3" on the GC's and I barely ever scrape except over large speedbumps. The max has really long overhangs, that may be the problem.
