Never heard of any manifold causing an obstruction to a lower brace, i am 90% sure you will be ok. But don't hold me to it lol

The Supersprint can be a bit of a pain with the OMP lower braces - i had to hammer a groove into mine so it didn't rattle. Piper should be fine though.

Yes I've also heard of the Supersprints hanging low, and a few who have "slammed" cars denting them on speed bumps.
