Lowered on coils- scraping

Hey guys. Just installed my stance coils last night.
I'm lowered at about 2 finger gap from the tire to fender for the front and one finger gap at the rear.
I went over some steep bumps today. Even sideways. But I noticed that my Perrin catback is scraping. The S pipe is scraping any advice?

Don't go over those bumps anymore.

There's places where you can scrap even stock. Hell, my GTO with 7" of ground clearance can't even clear some speed bumps or driveways without scraping the exhaust. You take one of these that starts at 4", and drop it 1-1.5", and you're looking at less than 3" of clearance -- there's a LOT of places you'll have a hard time with that kind of clearance.

Carry a piece of plywood with you everywhere you go.
