Clearence Issues

Ok guys, heres whats up. I have QTP 1 3/4 hvmc lt's with the QTP catted Y pipe. I just put on an SLP LM and I seem to be having some ground clearence issues. The bullet on the muffler is really low and so is the drivers side cat, is this normal? I mean it scrapes on the littlest bumps. Can anyone help me out or do I have to live with this?

Here are some pics of the exhaust.

You ask me it looks like it was welded on way too low. Like it could stand to come up 2"-3" on the bullet portion.

I agree. It looks like the pipes are not straight. If they were straight I thionk that would get you some clearance. My car is slammed, and I have pacesetter lt, tsp ory, and lm catback and have about 3"-5" inches of clearance, not much but its what I have.

I would take it to a shop and have them tuck it up in there a little better.

I'm having problems with my dual cut out Y pipe hanging a bit low. I put it on a lift and re positioned it.

Yes, far too low. Have them tuck it up a little better. If you really want it up high, youll have to either D shape the tubing, or pound the cross members with a big hammer. I did a little of both. The bullet shouldnt have any problem being tucked up quite a big higher either.
