Rep Power: 0 Really? I tried adjusting it (it was worse than that), and got it to go in some. I guess I can screw with it more during the weekend. I mean, I have really no issue where its at. As long as the big muffler isn't exposed (and the tip is near flush with the bumper, in fact, a little back), its cool in my book.
Really? I had adjusted it (pushed it back) already, and its just not wanting to budge at all. I guess Sunday I can fix it, but in my book as long as the big muffer isn't exposed, and the tip is near flush (which it is) with the tip of my bumper, its cool in my book.
Thanks for the props my1vtec.
I'm thinking it my be the way the pictures are angled too.

Rep Power: 0 I have the same exhaust and love it, its one of the best sounding exhausts I have heard so far IMO.
Mine does not stick out too far but then again I have a body kit on so it hides that a bit more.
I do know what you guys mean with the Mid-Pipe hanging too low though, I am lowered and my cat hits everything on the road, going to see if I can fix it though. No rattles though from my exhaust.
Looks good though none the less, good job.

Rep Power: 0 I got this one too... yeah it does sound uncivic like, everyone says it sound like i got a v6 in my car. Mine hangs alittle low to in the mid pipe, but i'm gonna try and get it raised some. You should go to a certified Magnaflow installer, they should be able to push it back alittle, but it will stick out just some cause how the mounts are setup. Plus a certified Magnaflow installer will help you keep that warrenty, especially with the install so if you rub it the wrong way and it comes loose... they will fix it for free. Also make sure they weld the connections right. It's stainless steel so the temp changes will effect that rattle you guys are taking about. Oh and polish everything now while you can... unless you have access to a lift often. Good luck and nice install!

I also have the same exhaust system. I got a local shop to fix the hang and change the clamps to differnet ones so no I have no scraping. You will have scraping. I got TEIN S-Techs and it was the ***** with all the scraping. If I were you, get the exhaust adjusted while you are getting it lowered.
Other then that, I love the sound of the system and the look is good. I would like to lose the slant cut tip but oh well. still a good system

If its all the time (once a day) then I will get the stuff adjusted, as for now... Pretty satisfied... Luckily the car is loud enough so I don't hear and rattles until I slow down to a stop.

Rep Power: 261 Damn...didn't think that this many ppl had this exhaust, but its awesome so ppl should!
Mine use to rattle until I adjusted one of the connectors.
It might be the different years but mine fits perfectly!
