Re: quick question

I had that problem all the time too. Mine is lowered about an inch, but the exhaust scraped before i lowered it. Anyway, I took it to a muffler shop and had them readjust the two joints in the middle of the exhaust and weld them together. So basically from the cat back is 2 pieces now, instead of 3. They charged me like 10 bucks for the welding. Its all fixed, only scrapes over really really bad bumps and its still not as bad as it was. Hope that helps.

Re: quick question

I had the same problem too. I have a Skunk2 Exhaust system. And I have also lowered my car 2 1/2 inches. I took my car to an exhaust shop a couple weeks ago, and they were able to fix my exhaust to where it wouldn't bottom out on slopes and speed bumps. It is alot higher now.
