So I ended up going to a muffler shop and getting the hanger bent toward the body.
Doesn't scrap anymore, but the rear still sags a bit.

I forgot to take some pictures, but I try my best to show you what I was talking about later on.

Yeah, If it scrapes anymore, I'm going to end up cutting the pipe out and move it up higher.

lol, I just took it to the muffler shop today and got it done.
Cost me 20 bucks, but I don't scrape anymore.

I'm going to lower the car a little bit more, hopefully I won't scrape.

is it normal for an OEM catalytic converter to go out after 140k miles?

Strange thing happened - the alternator went out a couple weeks ago and it seemed to have taken out the catalytic converter and a bulb in the gauge cluster. Both were fine before. After the new alternator was put in, a CEL appeared and turned out to be the cat...

Hello Everyone,
I just joined the site, and this is my first post. I have an '03 Civic EX Coupe, auto trans. It was with a friend for two years, but our deal never materialized. I now have the car back and it needs major work. I basically want a stock, daily driver. I don't want to go to the dealer for everything, so I'm trying to piece it back together. The first thing I need is a stock, or "stock-like" exhaust. There is a Greddy exhaust on the car now. I also need a trunk lid. There is an aftermarket spoiler drilled into the lid now. I need stock seats. There are blue/grey leather seats in front and rear. Stock springs, rims, door panel for driver side, and a laundry list of other things. I live in OC, SoCal. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all eyes and ears.
Thanks.
