from the ground to the lowest part of the fram, below the foot peg it is 6", to the lowst part of the exhaust system its 2".

The right turns arent too bad but i do get some scrapes on the tighter stuff. i could definitely use another half inch, ive been thinking about just hammering that section of the pipe flat.

i had the kerker 4-1 system and i cut off half of the muffler piece right at the weld, leving the bead to be a nice accent to the end of my new exhaust.
