Default does your rm-01a scrape?

just installed my rm-01a, and i noticed the rear resonator hangs pretty low, as in it is now the lowest point on the car. do you ever hit yours on speedbumps and such?

I never had a problem with it unless there was a protruding object from the ground.

Check your hangers and connections.

Dammit, I did not think you were lurking in the back ground... I was going to post this...

a good person to ask would be Opie, he had that exhaust on for a while in NYC.

Word, I did, never had any problem. In fact, the exhaust fits so well that it comes with that heat wrap for your rear brake line because it sits so close to it and the body of the caR.

I should have never sold her

Chalk another one up for not rubbing with an RM01A on an ITR or EG hatch. (Minus when I was running open header and missing a hanger for the ITR...THEN it scraped... on me)

It looks low, but it shouldn't scrape even on low cars.

I had to cut the 4 inches as many have done, but not did not adjust the angle of the B-pipe when the ends were welded back together. I have no rub/scrap issues at the moment...but if i were to change my suspension and drop the car a couple inches that would most likely be a concern.

I did have to find a larger hanger for the back section of the B-pipe, as it was causing the exhaust to hit the frame when the car would jerk enough (starting and stopping usually). I think that can be blamed on the readjustment issues i didn't make though.

Excellent choice of exhaust BTW
