ditto on the curbs. also if you have a front splitter, the bolts will catch and really screw it up.
tip on speed bumps: drive around the side, with one wheel on the bump, and as far away from the center of the bump as you can get away with. (Considering sidewalks, dogs, pedestrians, etc. - a new car part might be cheaper than a law suit.) With the edge of the bump only sticking up under less than half of your car, the exhaust line can't be hit, and you will get more clearance.

ya my car is lowered on S-techs with a megan catback that hangs low to begin with and a carbon fiber lip on the front, i cant do speed bumps, or steep inclines even on an angle in, its going out thats even more difficult.
Like said above def avoid potholes, and drive slow over railroad tracks etc, approach everything that you have to on an angle if you think you need to

OH! if u have an exhaust that is in a vertical angle like mine
meaning the tip of the can is higher the end of the can that connects to the pipe
well anyways be carful because i once got stuck in a parking space on one of thos cement parking block things
stupid me backed into it, to much and the cement block got caught on the can,, it was soo embarrassing but i got out!
