   ive got a janspeed 4-2-1 manifold on my 2002 vts. my car is lowered about 40mm but i keep catching the manifold on the floor as it sits really low, ive now caught it that much that a good quarter of the pipe bore has been crushed. do all 4-2-1 manifolds sit as low or is it just the janspeed? is there any other manifolds that sit higher? if so which is the best one? cheers!

   i was 40mm and had a gmc which is still the lowest sitting if i am right?
   
   mine always looked like it was going to hit but never. And janspeed all ones i seen sit high, you not just driving too fast over bumps, probs the first thread ever? where someones 40mm and catches all the time, lower strut brace sat lower then my manifold and never really caught that either,

   sounds like the car is lowered more than 40mm or you cane it over raised bumps in the road.
   
   4-2-1s don't hang as low as the 4-1 and at 40mm you shouldn't really have a problem

   ive got 40mm spax springs on standard dampers and had the torsion bar dropped by ricky p to match. it sits really low honestly. lower than the strut brace and the decat pipe even. 180 quid for nowt lol. its proper fucked. it wasnt done over a speed bump or owt like that, there is a road near me thats massive hill and at the bottom it comes to a junction but it a bit bumpy. its right near a junction so i wasnt goin fast or owt. im well pissed off now. does the race land not drop as low then? or any other manifolds? cheers for help
