Default How close will it sit?

Looking to get my saxo vtr lowered within the next couple weeks but me and a couple mates were wondering how close my piper 4-1 would sit to the road if i dropped it 60mm (50mm i believe on a vtr)

Has anyone else got any previous experience with being as low with the same manifold, i don't mind having to go very careful around speed bumps etc but i don't want it to just be scraping constantly even if i am being careful.

Thanks,
