Default Lowering the GT with BTG duals

Has anyone lowered their car with installed BTG dual exhaust. I look at it and it doesn't seem that dropping the back a couple of inches will leave any clearance at all for the axel to travel. If anyone has done this I would appreciate some insight on how much clearance you have left and if the axel hits the pipe.

It seems like I saw something on another forum concerning this. They had to mount additional hangers to pull the exhaust up higher against the body to avoid the rear axle. I'll search for the thread and post it if I find it.

When i lowered my 01 with eibach's the Borla would slam into the rear axle. Had to have the bend over the axle replaced with a deeper bend.
