My car is not lowered and it does hit on some larger speed bumps... and you have to be careful going up hills if the hill goes like this /||| (obviously not that steep, but pretend the ||| has no spaces and is solid pavement)... I went up into a parking lot that had an entrance designed like that once and dragged the **** out of them.

I would think that you would have to be EXTREMELY careful and make sure you know the roads around you and that you don't go over speed bumps and be careful going over hills.

I've got the Pypes mid muffler set up and i've scrapped a couple of times with my stock suspension turning into steep inclines. When you look at my car from the side view the MM sits about 1 - 1 1/2 inches below the car.

my car is stock height and i have mid mounted 40 series flowmasters underneath.....i have tested them with speed bumps, steep inclines, and everything i could possibly do to get them to scrub, but they don't........funtime, love the shelby gt. i think your new set-up will work fine.
