My MAC off road prochamber is that way as well. I have tried spending hours adjusting the ball flanges, but makes very little difference and I feel you the exhaust drags on everything.

Mine hung a little lower than I liked, but I was able to adjust it on an alignment rack. After the adjustment I had to problems.

thats exactly what I did with my lt's and o/r x.

I've had a few different exhaust setups and they all hung extremely low and hit everything. it didn't matter how much i got under there and tightened things up, it would still drop and scrape everything. i finally said screw this and raised it with a jack, tightened up the joints, and wrapped the pipes with some wire and hung it on a bracket up by the driveshaft. now i have tons of clearance. it looks tacky when you see it, but in reality, who the hell is going to see it. i have a MAC o/r Prochamber and MAC catback BTW.

MRT h's are the best on the market. They are also stainless as well so that helps too. They hang high as well.

+1 on the MRT h pipe. Mine sat really nice with no hanging down issues. Of course that was pre-long tubes though lol.

I have Pypes LT's and a O/R H and mine hang pretty low. I have problems scrapping from time to time.

Mrt you said you just took it to a shop and asked em to tuck your exhaust more? Does it make it harder to get the midpipe on and off?

As far as getting the mid pipe on and off i don't know as i haven't tried it yet. I can't imagine it being any more difficult than it was before. Even though stuff is tucked up a bit more, it appears that everything (including the h pipe) is just as accessible as before.
