Ok, I recently lowered my camry w/Eibach springs. And the bent exhaust pipe scratched when i went over a speed bump. Is there anyway to bent that up so it wont scratch anymore? Hopefully u guys noe wat im talking about =/. Well, its a gen5

The gen3 does the same thing, I just had mine straightened out a bit and tucked up when I had my catback made.

That pipe is the worst part of the Camry exhaust system...yah definately take it over to a muffler shop and have them fab a new section of piping. Shouldn't be to bad.

any con's tucking in the exhaust? i'm thinking of lowering and dont want to scratch the muffler.

yea I lowered my gen 5 too, on speed bumps you have to go slow, and I mean slow, I gotten use to it, and watch out for potholes and other stuff on the road, I got 18s so I go slow so I wont bend them, anyways never really scratch that pipe, just my exhausts

go over the speed bumps sideways, and very slowly...

my car is the lowest camry ive ever seen and i get a lot of scrapes, but just try to take it slow and careful...

yea go sideways forgot, and that piping oh yea I got it repiping when I got my exhausts on, so thats not a problem for me, just my kit and my exhausts

Y0, I have a GEN5 with the Eibach pro kit springs. I have scratched that pipe so many times, but I guess that is the price you pay.

I'm new TN so here's a picture of my ride for y'all.

Gen5, Pro Kit, 18" wheels here as well. I don't scrape that much, but I'm a very careful driver (had two cars that were lowered in the past), so that's probably why.

haha. you guys what to know what is funny? i ran over something the other day and it ripped a hole in my exhaust pipe.

i just went ahead and got a new exhaust system. put a 2.5 down pipe on that mofo, and now i scrap all the f-ing time. )=
