[XP02ED]

what cat are u using? stock? coz it lowers or increases the height of your catback depending on that header/cat your using too

[obsessionz]

all stock ... powergetter bolted straight on ... so this is normal? I can't go any lower then :(

Raise the exhaust - problem solved.

how can you raise it? is it even possible?

I dont know the particular exhaust or car, but may be as simple as lifting the hangers or you may need to cut the exhaust and insert a small piece of straight pipe or maybe even heating it up and bending it. Best way to know is to go to a good exhaust shop and put it on a lift and see what they say.

Yes - take it to a good exhaust shop. Expect a bit of cutting and welding of your brand exhaust though.

the rear hanger should be fine. theres no hangers from the rear to cat. your cat connection is what makes it go lower. looks like u may have to get the piping bent up

[obsessionz]

i prefer to leave it i dont want to modify the exhaust wont be original and if cut and bend it could loose performance... Ill just leave it or see if there is other brand exhaust that dont hang as low...

My mugen hangs that low... always thought it was normal.

There is no "tunnel" as such for the exhuast to follow... and the pipe is mostly stright.

ok thanks if anyone else has any more comments or advice all appreciated!!

i have the same problem, but was told that there is a limit on modifying your exhaust so that your b pipe hangs higher, if you modify it to hang too high, it will hit the base of the car if you brake hard or from high speeds. reason being our cars are fwd. hope this helps.

this is common for DC5R.....they dun expect you lower ur car too much on street....
