Alright, well i just recently got my lisence a little less then 2 weeks ago, and have driven every second i could. Needless to say, that is alot more driving done in the car then before i had my lisence. I also got a nice flowmaster catback for the car, however i am just now noticing that on even some of the most rediculously low speed bumps it scratches and almost dents part of the catback. This is the catback i have: http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...4f4349b6d8374b.
And since its to late to go outside and gett a good pic, im 90% sure this is what is hitting the speedbumps: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4349/17275ztnmp8.jpg .

SO i was just wondering if there is anyway these could be raised so i dont have to cringe every time i have to go over a bump. And it would be really nice because it happens on all of the speedbumps around my school, and i have to take extra time out just to go around these because i care to much about my baby. But anyone know any thing? OH, and i also just got new 18 inch rims coming in, but i dont think that will actualy raise my car any higher off the ground.... will it?

If anyones firmiliar with Trick Trucks in kensington Maryland (i doubt it), but they put this on for me so il probably take it in to them when i go to get a bypass valve for my cold air intake.

PS: iv had the catback for a few months, and never noticed anything till now! and Im furious about it!

 

1st of all maybe the shop can get shorter hangers so i can raise the system up a bit. second of all no the 18s wont raise the car any higher if u get the right size tires. 3rd of all y are u getting a bypass valve for a CAI

 

Take it back to the muffler shop and ask them to shorten the hangers. That should rais it a little. I never had that problem til I had the car lowered, and then only steep driveways, and it scraped on the X-Pipe.

 

Alright, i didnt think the rims would raise the car any. Here are the tires i got for em. A ****ing grand for the tires alone!

And isnt the bypass valve the thing that prevents the cold air from sucking up any water?

 

it wont suck up any water unless u have it like 2 inches off the ground or u drive into a damn lake

 

and u could have definately gotten away with decent set of tires for around 550 shipped

 

Hahaha, i like that. Well, it really depends how much the part costs, if its any less then 75 bucks then i might as well get it just to be safe. I dont mind wasting a little extra money to be safe. I have a BBK cold air intake, and i heard from a friend that AEM makes a bypass valve which fits almost all the cold airs. (Is bypass valve the name of the piece im thinking of, or is it something else?)

Besides, im taking my car there for them to look at the catback anyway, so they might as well do the bypass valve to

 

alright all im saying is theres no point lol. ask anyone here with a CAI. ten bucks says your wont fine ONE person with it.lol its like getting hurricane insurance on your house in egypt.....(it took me a while to think of that lol)

 

LOL, alright. Ya, i figured if it was really of that much importance then it would have come with one, or my homies at Trick Trucks would have at least mentioned it. So im not even gunna waste my money. Especially when i just dropped 1500 for rims and tires!!

 

yea hahaha. didnt u get the black saleens?
