might be a dumb question, but is there a reason you split the downpipe into two seperate pipes?

2 x 2" = 1" more ground clearance than 1 x 3"

That a question or a statement?

lmao statement definitely.

I'll snap a picture of my clearance and post here ... the location of the pipe in relation to the wheels is it's saving grace. If I'm running over speed bumps, no problems, but if I have to avoid something in the road, I choose the right side the car every time

speed bumps are fine for me if I go straight over them when the lip kit is off. However if the kit is on I can only go over the speed bumps one way and that is going over the bump pointed to the right.
