I have a 2013 5.0 that has a few issues that I would like some opinions on. I did a few searches and didn't come up with much so here goes.

First, I recently picked up a Magnaflow 3" competition exhaust system. Sounds great but ran into a hassle. I'm dropped on Eibach Sportlines and the rear axle hit the exhaust like crazy. On the left side, it was actually the breather that was slamming into the pipes. So I went to an exhaust shop and had them cut and reweld and adjust pipes. Fixed it for the most part but over a larger bump it still hits mildly but it's just hitting the actual pumpkin on the rear end now. That doesn't bother me as much as I know it most likely won't hurt anything. Just curious if anyone else has run into this issue? I thought I received the "updated" version that was supposed to solve this issue, however, I know I am lowered.

Next, as stated above, I have Eibach Sportlines installed. I know the whole debate deal with the GT500 upper mounts but some say they don't fit, don't work, etc... Things are OK other than it riding like crap on this soft suspension. Recently though, at slow speeds there is deep, growling squeek that comes from the front end as the suspension compresses but mostly when it compresses just a tad. Larger bumps and higher speeds shuts it right up. The only thing I can think of honestly, is that I have bottomed the struts out enough that they are already weak and worn and that they are just needing replaced. Just curious on your guys opinions.

Thanks for your time.
