So I have the ZPI catback system
Except I want to drop my car since the wheel wells look so huge and I hate it. Probably going to go with H techs because the body kit kind of extends below stock height.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is the elbow in the way the ZPI axle back portion is made. The elbow portion of it drops so low and undoubtedly I think it's going to scrape all the time if I drop the car.
So what should I do? Or if anyone with a dropped tC with the ZPI Exhaust reads this..do you ever have any problems with the exhaust scraping?
I don't think I can go out and buy an axle back because the ZPI midpipe is so much shorter than the stock one...meaning that an axle back wont connect to the midpipe right.
Would I be able to go to an exhaust shop and have them weld on an extension so that it would reach all the way to the rear axle part?
Would that work? There would be no way for the shop to just get rid of the elbow would there?
I don't really want to replace the midpipe because it already has 2 resonators on it.

I have the ZPI exhaust and am lowered. I am more worried about scraping my Megan S-Pipe than the axle back portion of my exhaust, but they both measured with the same clearance.
Meh, if it scrapes, ill get over it.

How did you guys hang your ZPI exhaust? I actually got some stainless hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers) and ran them through the rubber hanger, through the exhaust hanger, then torqued them down. I couldn't think of a better way to do it, haha.
