We dont know how the pipe on your car was run.
Sence its custom it could have been run closer to the swing arm out back than the stock one was.


When I bagged my car my 2.25 was way to close. I took it back and they built 3 dif rear sections before they finaly got it right so it would clear.


I am all that is man

I have (had) the same problem. Mine was just barely touching, so it would rattle and was really annoying, so I wedged in a thick piece of rubber ghetto style and it lasted 3 years lol.

Wow, it's been almost a year since this thread has been posted in, but I'm giving it a bump since it addresses a concern of mine that still hasn't really been answered. Here's the specific details:

About to lower the car this weekend, hopefully
*Eibach Pro-Kit 1.5" drop front and rear
*KYB AGX's all the way around
*Stock wheels & correct-size tires
*Using the 2.25" Pacesetter cat-back system w/ some changes, but doesn't change overall shape/form of the system

I don't expect any problems, but you never know. Anyone with that specific / close to same setup have issues w/ clearance over the crossmember (think that's what it's called, the bar under car between rear wheels)? Suggestions on how to correct if there is a problem? Thanks

Wow almost a year dead. Anyway, I dropped on koni yellows and goldline springs and every once in a while my resonator will scrape the ground. It started out as the rk sport single exhaust but, I haven't changed any bends so you should be ok. I has never hit anything else.
