When is the last time you looked at the scrape marks on your cross member?
Mine has a ton. There all covered by surface rust for the time being. Either way, that does get hit and the skid plate will hopefully do its job.
What I am worried about is speed bumps. I CRAWL over them and I have heard my exhaust clamp hit them before. I am using a different clamp in a different spot and I have not once heard my new exhaust system hit anything. I am also using 195/55-15 tires instead of 205/50-15 tires which also raises the car a tad.
But if you go too fast over that first half of the speed bump, when the car slams down it would slam the header straight up. That is my primary concern.
There are at least ten different speed bumps I could encounter in my daily driving activities. all of them are different sizes, shapes, heights.
I hope the header does not get destroyed by them since it is a very nice and moderately priced piece for what you get out of it.
