It's been done before by other people without issue. I'm going to give it a whirl when the time comes anyway. I'm curious to know facts why its bad idea, and unless someone can bring up a worthy objection besides "its dumb" or a general "trust me" it will happen. Worst comes to worst, I bottom it out a few times, take it off, and reinstall my SLP catback.
I'm sure hot rod/rat rod guys do it all the time, but they are not using 4th gen Camaros. Here are my thoughts:

- Unnecessary loss of ground clearance. You can hit/drag anything you can't swerve around
- You will have to hang them low enough to handle suspension travel on the road.
- You will have to hang them low enough so that the axle can droop enough to get a tire off if you get a flat.

If you are going to try and do this on the cheap, why not just dump before the axle?
