Midpipe and flange scraping... Anyone else??

So Im pretty much slammed on H&R coilovers, went into a parking garage today in SF and there was a pretty uneven slope at the entrance, I went in slow and at an angle but realized that didnt help much and was too late when I heard loud scraping on the bottom.. Later on I looked under the car to see where it scraped but without getting the car on a lift its a little difficult to see the damage fully, I could see some scraping on the pipes after the H-pipe and on one of the flanges, does anyone else have this issue with scraping or have scraped before? The pipes should hold up even after multiple times of scraping right? I knew it was bound to happen but I Try my best to avoid it as much as possible...

surprised to hear that H&R brought you THAT low?! I mean to scrape pipes?
You should still have plenty of clearance with H&Rs...

My headers scrap too. I'm on Hr springs. Have to be very careful of speed bumps and inclines are a no go. I have about 4" clearerance.

Yea I think it's the header pipes before they curve up into the engine bay.. I never thought the pipes were so low to the ground once I was lowered, but Im slammed on coilovers so that might be the contributing factor...
