theres really not a whole lot you can do outside of a custom header back pipe. (I have one and i opted to just keep stock midpiping so that i didnt have to deal with it.
so wait if i buy the neuspeed x brace i will have clearance issues.....
BTW i have greddy evo catback on a 03 civic ex auto...
let me know b/c i dont want to buy something that does not fit.

if your hangers are good, you won't have issues. I have a magnaflow, and its ****. I need to bend my downpipe hanger to make it fit.
Yup, mine is really bad. I have a magnaflow and random tech cat as well. There is very little clearance between the car and exhaust, and between the brace and exhaust. When I get driving hard, rattlerattle, bang, rattle. It is very bad when it is wet out. I can feel it vibrating on the car through the shifter. Sounds bad, but its not a big deal really.
