So. As stated in the title. Im having problems with the buddy club pro-spec exhaust cat back system. We pulled off the stock exhaust system and bolted on the new system and it is hanging about .5 to 1 inch off the ground once the car is removed from the ramps/racks etc... We unhooked everything, made some adjustments to raise the exhaust and then put everything back on. The rear part where the muffler is, is well in its place. However we were unable to come up with a solution to where the cat connects to the exhaust pipe. The pipe seems to be pulling the cat down. The entire catback system does not seem to sit 100% in place of the old one. I did not discard the old system and am close to putting it back on if i cannot find a solution to raise the back of the cat as well as the exhaust pipe. There are no brackets in proximity and no rubber hangers to raise it with either. I dont really know how to be clear with whats goings on but i tried my best. The exhaust is hanging too low and my car is already lowered. I now reside in michigan and their roads are... well nothing like pheonix. Im scrapping on the crown of the roads and slight imperfections in the roads as well.

If you know of any aftermarket exhaust hangers or solutions to this issue, please let me know.

all systems are like that, everyone has the same problem. i have the pro spec and it sits real low, just gotta deal.

 

i hope i can fix it when i take it back to my dads garage. We will try a few different things or else im just taking it off.. it sounds so nice but its just way too low. Maybe welding or something. Or doing some custom fabrication to hold the rear of the cat up so that it drags less. Tomorrow is going to be another fun day in the garage.

might have to bust out the welder and torch

 

Pics?

 

can you take it to a muffler shop and have them add on bracket to lift it up?

 

i kinda had the same problem with my old ek hatchback. i had that problem as well as the full exhaust reaching the header. The reason I was told was because that particular system was made specifically for a jdm spec car. i don't know if that sorry excuse would fall into your situation but good luck in whatever you do!
