ITR LCA and exhaust system help
Alright guys well about a month ago I posted that I got new Omni Coilovers Street Trim which far exceed my expectations but now I have a problem. Since the kit I got came with ITR LCA's they now hit my exhaust piping and have put so much stress on my crap-*** muffler (it came with the car) that the back of the muffle has completely broken off and now I can see the steel wool and stuff. Still sounds deep and all but it's now 5-blocks+ obnoxiously loud.
Now is there a cat-back sytem out there that will work with my ITR LCA's and a 2.5 inch drop (top of my 205/40/17 tires are even with all the fender lips) or just wait till I swap and have all the piping redone???
My plan is to swap a K20a-R sometime this year so I'd go with 2.5inch piping if I went custom, muffler, cat, resonator and all the goodies.
Any help would be great.

i have a 2.5 system and i have no rear lca rubbing issues. you may have to tweak the hangers a little bit and or shorten the exhaust hanger bushings to tuck the exhaust closer to the body.

Re: ITR LCA and exhaust system help (JDMisGOOD)
also, if you are not sure how to shorten the hanger bushings, this is how i did mine.... remove the bushing. use a dremel/knife/whatever you have at your disposal to open up the center of the rubber block where it touches each other (1/4" should suffice) then reinstall the bushing. wrap a hose clamp around it and tighten it up till it stops hitting the control arm. you don't want to tighten it up too much, as then you will have rubbing issues against the body. combine this with tweaking the exhaust hanger tabs, you should be able to stop just about any rattle.
