ground clearance?

Hi all,
I recently just got my exhaust in.

I have hooker 2055's with a Catco 9118 High Flow Cat and American Thunder Catback.

I am posting some pics of where the exhaust is sitting, it seems a little low.

I have sportlines that I was intending to put in, but now Im not sure whether I think thats a good idea or not....

Does it look about right where the exhaust is sitting or should it be up higher?

oh and yeah... thats a bunch of crap I got burned onto my new ceramic coated y-pipe

I was getting the car out of the garage for the first time, and I had a tarp under the car for working on it all winter / spring and I got it all scrunched up and burned a bunch of it onto my y-pipe before I realized it....

Dunno if there is anyway to get it off now

Well, I think I may have to tighten up the bolts from the headers to the y-pipe. I cant remember how tight I got them, so I think that could be a little bit of my issue. I dont think that would bring it up more than an inch. But... that would probably put me where I should be.

I know I have a little tweaking with the muffler in the rear too. Its pointed down towards the front a little too much, and I have the drivers side exhaust tip off a little bit too, it needs to come out some.

It looks like from some of the pics that people have the y-pipe angled so the outlet is pointing up a little bit.

I am going to have to get the car up in the air and see what I have going on.
