ceekay, you don't have cats, so you probably have slightly more ground clearance, maybe an inch more. i don't have bassani, but I had the same issue with my bbk cattedX.

to the original poster, you can loosen up all the nuts and bolts (don't remove, just loosen) holding on your xpipe, and get a floor jack and see if you can push the middle of the xpipe up a couple inches before re-tightening everything. i did that, but it wasn't enough, so I took my car to the muffler shop, and had them heat up the bend between the exhaust man. and the cats and bend the pipe up another couple inches.

Meh ....he asks how us lowered ponies get over speed bumps...lol Swearing,grimace,creep and hope no real damage when you hear that thump or scrape is being done.

My pony is pretty low...I hate speed bumps and have to really crawl over them crabstyle
