Exhaust Clearance?

I quite possibly have the worst paved driveway of anyone in America. I am really into the Greddy Evo2 exhaust (I know, diy is better, but I just like it), but I really don't know if it will clear my driveway. Loser chick before me put on a tsudo exhaust (massive hurl), and it's a necessity that I de-rice it. Here's some pics:
On flat ground:

At lowest point


So, do you think a Greddy Evo2 will fit? The muffler looks huge, but I'm hoping the majority will tilt upwards...not sure if that makes sense. Opinions?

My words exactly. As far as I know (once again, the girl did some random mods on the car), the car is NOT lowered at all...that's just the grade of my driveway (I'll snap a pic in the next couple of days of it). The driveway's really long, so parking on the street isn't an option because of cold STL. Hmm...decisions decisions...

I think he was asking about pics of blackacks driveway. but your driveway isnt that bad you could easily put another exhaust on. just dont plan on lowering anytime soon.

personally i think you'll be fine with the Evo2. good luck its a loud exhaust. H22Euro-R has it, but of course we both have Header to exhaust. no cat or straight pipe in between.

but no way for the Sp2. that exhaust sits fairly low.

Thanks ghost, I guess I'll get it a try. Loudness doesn't bother me too much, I guess I'll have to hear one in person to determine that.

True story. I hate driving on all your guys salt-ridden, potholed-filled, hilly roads. Ohio isn't much better though.

Bummer about your driveway. I'm hesitant on getting a lip, cause I'm afraid of busting it off going in my driveway.

Yah, I def. love the sound of the evo2, plus it looks pretty decent. For some reason, I've never liked Magnaflow. I can't do a drop or lip with my driveway, but I'm tryin to make the best out of it.
