Default Dual Flowmaster A/T and speed bumps

So are there any 2005 and up mustangs out there with dual Flowmaster American Thunders that have problems going over speed bumps and scratching and bumping your mufflers when going over speed bumps? Reason I ask is because I went to my performnce shop and he suggested not to go with Flowmaster A/T because: 1) the mufflers are big and when you go over speed bumps it will mess up (scratch) the mufflers. They hang too low. 2) The Flowmaster A/T are louder but also higher pitched. He suggested to go with Magnaflow. He said Magnaflows are a little quieter but also deeper than the Flowmasters. Anybody have any input on this??? He said hes put more X pipes on the V6's but I told him I wanted a H pipe because of all the input I've received and everyone on the forums are telling me to definitely go with the H pipe rather than the X pipe.

i have magnaflow duals and i love them so far and have got nothing but compliments. they do drone a little bit, but imo its not that bad. all the mid pipes hang low because of the drive shaft.

H is better sound in most peoples opinions. Mine Too. Unless ur car is lowered, I doubt u'll rub em. We have a good amount of clearence for a sports car. Speed bumps I doubt would do anything. Just watch out around steep streets and hills.
