Default Exhaust that hangs to low....

I just got this exhaust from someone local, its the ZPI full catback. The pipe that goes underneath the rear suspension is hanging dangerously to low for me for comfort!! I think it's a good 3" but I'm willing to bet if i have passengers in the rear seats that booger will be on the ground. Or if I hit a good size bump/pothole/ or anything it will hit the ground. The car is dropped on Hotchkis Springs. Anyone else having problems with the exhaust hanging low?






Also the hangers are weird, I cannot use the stock rubber hangers without twisting it 90 degrees.

The hanger on the exhaust isnt in the correct direction for the rubber hanger to mount on straight.

I know this isn't helpful to you, but I'm lowered on TRDs and I hit the stock exhaust on the ground once. Yours is considerably lower. Definitely looks too low for daily driving.

Ok its not so much that the pipe hits the ground, its the back bottom of the muffler canister that sits low too. I will try to adjust everything to see if it can be angled a little bit higher.

I had the ZPI cat back while I was on H-Techs and it looked too low ... I would always cringe going over things but it never actually scraped.

i am on s-techs. i scrape, not the end of the world. i take my time over speed bumps. you're def not safe with people in the back unless you take your time over bumps and take them at an angle.

I'm getting mixed feelings about this exhaust. I have a FS/FT ad in the classifieds....
