My effing cats bang on speeds bumps all the time. Now I take the scenic route through parking lots
Who's headers and cats are you running?
I gots the SLP LT's and catted x-pipe. Absolutely love the sound.

JBA LT's with O/R H and FM 44's running on an Eibach Sportline kit, no issues at all. Everything is up inside the Frame rails here.

Thanks, I was thinking there would be no issue with the clearance but I wanted to make sure.

+1 on the sound of SLPs, but I have gone through one set of cats already because they hang so low, speed bumps !!! [:@] I am never going to lower so I live with it, if you are going to lower steer away from SLPs.

What about considering using equal length tube shorties? Will that give a good sound versus using just plain shorties? I am already running FRRP tuned suspension which lowered me to a point that I don't think long tube is an option for me.

And I've heard reports of up to 25 with a good dyno tune and an off road X pipe

JBA on mine and they tuck up VERY tight. The frame rail is lower than my JBA LT's.
