Hey, for those that have the Greddy cat-back is it supposed to hang so low? As you can see from the pics, mine is almost dragging! Just got mine installed the other day and one of the resonators has rubbed a couple times going over pretty small stuff. I'm taking it to an exhaust shop in a day or two to see if they can reposition it and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I'll post some pics/vids once I get this resolved. Thanks.

Mine hung that low and I never had a problem :-?

I even forgot to put on one of the hangers, too!

Actually my fix was to buy new rubber hangers. The stock ones were either worn, or had too much play so mine even wobbled left and right. I bought some S2000 exhaust hangers which were retarded tight and now its high in the air with zero movement.

The OBX sits fairly high not nearly as low as the greddy

I spent a fair amount of time making my custom sit near the car. I bet you could bend the hangers on the greddy to make it sit higher

My EVO doesn't sit nearly that low, the only thing I ever rub on any obstacles is the tip in steep situations. Get it readjusted, and see if you can situate it higher.

Cool, thanks guys. I talked to a guy at an exhaust shop and he said to try replacing the rubber mounts with stiffer ones first; as the Greddy is much heavier than stock and can sag with the stock mounts. Looks like I'll be following your route, Castro.

Circuit sports makes upgraded exhaust hangers for 240s that Im sure would work... they are a stiffer rubber and pull the exhaust closer to the car without allowing as much flex as stock rubber bushings. Might be something worth looking into...

Don't get hangers too short otherwise your exhaust will start smacking a metal rib just under the bumper which gets annoying when going over bumps.

I actually went from stock dual to single exhaust on my S2000 so I used the spare ones and bought an extra from honda for 9 bucks. ULTRA short and stiff. It's perfect actually and 2x stiffer than any aftermarket rubber hanger I've seen.
