12mm damn thats low are you sure? i think you might need to raise it a bit. the exhaust can only be raised buy tightning the rubber bands or replacing them.

100mm is legal height I believe. Your exhaust should be able to be lifted up by adjusting the rubber mounts.

120mm? Bah, that's fine
It (the cat) wont move much lower with a full car load, but it'll go alot lower at the centre muffler with 5 people in it and that will probably scrape speedbumps. The cat at 120mm wont really hit anything I wouldnt think.

12cm mate youve still got another 2cm to go hehe.
The only way to raise your exhaust is to cut n shut the exhaust hangers to bring the piping closer to the body. Highly recomended to install some heat shielding too. |
