Default Can catback fit on lowered cars?

I have true duals and hits everything. Wondering if I can fit catback over the axle with a 2" drop

Yes!
Just take your time and adjust it for maximum clearance over the axle.

Yes, lowering it really doesn't have much to do with the catback clearance except your tips may scrape at the transition to a steep incline such as pulling out of some parking lots. The over axle pipe should clear the rear end all the way through the suspension travel anyway. The Y pipe is the issue with lowered cars, not the catback so much.

his x doesn't scrape anywhere.. but the full sized mufflers he has under there do.. he has destroyed the 2nd set in about 2 weeks.. and he is very careful with his car.

i dont think it should be a problem.. just clearing the exhaust piping over the axle would be a possible problem
