Default anyone have problems with their apex world sport exh?

I put my apex world sport exhaust on my 99 ex coupe and it hangs down very low but everything is on the hangers that are there and everything is bolted up right. I scrape on speedbumps etc and my car is not lowered at all. Anyone have this problem or know of a possible solution?

is it a crx?
stock suspension?

attack speed bump and everything else at an angle and you'll be fine.

my resonator always scraped on my 91 si, though it was lowered...

its part of the fun.

I have a WS2 on my GSR, I never scrape, and it's lowered.

Hmmmm, is your headers/exhaust manifold bolted up (rear support)? Is your cat bolted up straight? Check your hangers for the mid pipe, make sure nothing got bent on install.

When I track my hatch the muffler comes out of the rubber hangers. Yes it is installed right. It might be my thief like driving.

i've read this somewhere where this guy had the same exact problem as yours. He had bolted his resonator on upside down. Try taking out ur resonator and flip it over and bolt it on again and see if it hangs low.

well i guess if nothin else works, then you can go to a muffler shop and have them fix it for you.

Second gen should't touch the ground at all. Im about 2.5 inches lower than stock and I dont scrape unless i go over a speed bump. The only thing I have problems with is the fact that the damn exhaust touches my shifter now and rattles like crazy. I guess being lowered has its consequences.
