Default EG Scraping Ground?

I have a 93 EG Hatch and its stock height, stock suspension

when i go around an uphill roundabout, i heard some scraping
..probably the tail pipe, but was wondering what you guys think it could be?

Did you examine the tailpipe for scraping?

Aftermarket header? You won't be able to tell until you get underneath the car.

Sometimes your cat will hit too, it's normal to scrape. These cars arent that high from the factory.

I still don't think anything should be scraping with stock height/suspension. I don't scrape. Never have with any of the Honda's I have owned.

when/if you lift it up make sure all your exhaust brackets are there and have the rubber mounts attached. a missing mount will cause the exhaust to "sag"

No sagging rubber mounts

looked under the car and tailpipe does indeed have a bit of scratching on the tip...

stock headers with the jdm b18c spec r
