im not 100 percent sure... but they dont lower your stock exaust pipping. they do hang lower,, but you shorten your stock y pipe. and everying still lines up like stock. so if your stock exaust piping will clear.. i would think the long tubes will too.

The ASM's terminate at flanges that weld to the catalytic covertor inlet so they do not hang down any lower that stock.

Unless you're lower than laying frame, I don't think you'll be having any problems.

You will not have problems. I have AS&M's and I have a 3" drop up front. Your Y pipe won't move.
