Advice: HKS Hi-Powered Exhaust on CX hatch!
My car:
1997 CX hatch
Tein S-Tech Suspension
KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks
SRR Rear Sway/Tie Bar Combo
SRR Rear Lower Control Arms
I've read few threads about the HKS Hi-Powered Exhaust (what I'm interested in) but seems that the piping needs to be placed under the LCA from what I've read, therefore few people said you can't lower it too low.
So i'm looking for someone who has personal experience witht his and could give me some advice to "exactly" how low I could lower my vehicle if I purchased the HKS exhaust.
If someone has some pictures of the exhaust on a EK would be appreciated, I tried searching but only came up with one picture which wasn't too great of a shot for me (mostly found integra or rsx pictures).
The reason I'm asking for some pictures is because I went to a local tuner shop and saw the HKS Hi-Powered exhaust (for RSX) and my first impression was, "wow this muffler tip is HUGE..."!
Any help would be appreciated!

i have mine on an eg sedan. the angle that goes up to the exhaust got banged about twice but i raised it up a hair and haven't hit it since. but i don't have anyone in the back of the car ever.
my car is fairly low but not too much so the exhaust doesn't drag. i have never dragged the front end of the cannister though and it sounds great

you really want something that sounds this loud? you just like the look of angled canistered mufflers? Search some archive pictures of 1quikgsr (i think that's his username. He had that exact same exhaust on his ek and his car was pretty low.

i am about 2.25 those are 17's up front i am tucking tire i can get a finger and half in the rear. actually my exhaust is not loud at all. it was actually louder when i had my factory cat on it. i got a metal cat' (that's the name of it) from my sponsor supreme performance and under normal driving it is really quit but once i hit boost and vtec engages it sounds mean.
