Does anybody else SCRAPE all the damn time with their Tanabe catback????

Its driving me nuts, no matter how slow, how crooked, and how much I avoid inclines and driveways, i scrape the hell outta it. It hits the mid-pipe alot and on inclines (even small ones!!!) the end of the muffler.

I heard Tanabe doesnt scrape much when I got it, Im probably dropped about 2" (all the way down on my Tein SS) with 205/40/17 tires and NOTHING in the trunk (no subs or anything).

same here...scrappin like crazy...i got GC's, RAISED ALL THE WAY UP!! barely 1 finger gap between wheel well and tire (velox 17's with 215/40/17)

i look under that car, and i can see the mid pipe hanging down like a b*tch, but the rear doesn't look too low, dunno why that scrapes. O well, when this one dies, i'm gonna invest in somethin else, RS-R seems like a good option, the damn canister is like hidden and doesn't droop at all. =/

 
Rep Power: 413

Yea, that's because there is no canister......the RS-R is a muffler-type exhaust, not a canister-type.

Yeah, I wanted the RS-R or the Tanabe, ended up Tanabe (obviously).

Oh well, I will be selling the Tanabe and some other stuff if I ever get my SI...

Well- good to know everybody else is scraping too. I remember RedDragon telling me he nevers scrapes, HOW??

 
Rep Power: 413

Cause he doesn't have his Teins slammed like we do.

 
Rep Power: 320

Oh, i thought he did. Nevermind....

thanks for clearin things up fly! The end portions of exhausts are all shapped like canisters, so i use that term unexclusively...should change that habit ^_^

are there canister types that don't scrape? i saw the DC TCS system, those are also more hidden than the tanabe. I looked under a 7th gen with one o those, and it doesn't bulge out that much. But since it's DC, i rather not. No diss to anyone with DC, its a personal thing

Looks sweet. Are they out yet? I'll get that when Im turboed, until then, I'm happy with my TCS.

Do what I do, have everyone get out of the back seat of my car, go over the bump, and then get back in. I'm kidding of course.
