Default Should my (stock) y pipe hang this low?

2001 Trans Am ws6
Drivers side y pipe, where it flattens out near front wheel, looks like it hangs too low to me. It extends down further than everything around it, and where it passes the chasie, the chasie looks as though it is molded to allow a close fit, but there is a 2 inch gap between chasie and top of pipe. Is this ment to be like this?

Thanks for your input.

Yes it's meant to, unless it's damaged/modified. Could you post a picture?

That's actually normal. They all seem to do that from 2000 up.

Default Thanks for the replys guys

I will post a pic tomorro.
It just looks strange, but it is reassuring to know that it seems to be the norm.
I wouldnt normally worry, as it works fine, but have a new muffler to install and wondered if it was worth changing it at the same time.

They look screwed up from the side view on the drivers side with that flat crap hanging down.

Mine was really low too. I actually gained ground clearance by switching to my TSP Pacesetter setup.
