Default Best H/X Pipe for lowered 99+ Stangs?

Im wondering which mid-pipe has the best clearance since I just ordered a set of H&R Supersports. UPR claims they have the best clearance (which i suppose VRS would duplicate). Any truth to this? Whats your opinions fellas? Keep in mind the x/h pipe needs to be catalytic (friggin california smog laws[:@])

Is it catted? I would think that an O/R midpipe would have better clearance than the stock midpipe..

I'd imagine my VRS x pipe would have had decent clearance but I welded BBK cats in and now speed bumps are my mortal enemy.

i got upr o/r x pipe and im lowered 1.5 inches and i have no problems. Only rarely if i go over a very big speed bump then it might barely touch it but overall im happy with the clearance

if its catted, a lot of midpipes will give you problems. if you want, get an o/r midpipe and get oval/flat cats to get welded in. just a thought
