Do your cars create more emissions, and do you get better or worse gas mileage with the mods (silly question perhaps)?

see i wanan go with 3.5" tailpipes because of the dumps stinking up the car. but the thing i dunno is if my suspension is dropped or not, anyway to actually tell(an easy way?) because i plan on putting eibach and maybe they have the suspension dropped already but if not then when i do put eibach and drop the suspension my tailpipes are already bottoming out if i go up a pretty steep drive way so with me dropping suspension and going with 3.5" tails im really gonna bottom out if theres a way i can tell if its dropped, then please let me know, because if its not im just going to have them cut and make it look really nice like holes in my bumper to put my tailpipes up so there not low.
