Default left turns are fine.. right turns, sparks fly!!

at first i thought it was my left fender rubbing my tires as i made kinda sharp right turns. but then my friend driving behind me said sparks are flying out from under my car as i turn. now as i look under my car the cat looks pretty low. but then again the cat is in the middle and i only hear it on right turns. so i wonder, and thats why i ask you guys. if it is my cat, is there a way to make it higher off the ground?

Try having a blowout going down the interstate. You talk about sparks... That happened on my truck last week. How low is your car? Do a couple of right hand donuts and start feeling under your car for a hot spot. It'll work.

Do you notice any scrapped metal? Any evidence of friction?

If the cat was scraping the ground then you would certianly be able to see that.
