exhaust issue's, need opinions

Ok the deal is my exhaust is WAY to low, I'm running a Fullrace downpipe, URacing testpipe, and custom buschur catback. Where the dp is its only about 1" off the ground and im on Swift springs also the back of the exhaust is pretty low but not as low. What should i do ? i mean ever high spot in the road i hear it hitting bad.

There is something definetly up with your exhaust. I did a search for you and I found this picture of the ETS 3.5 exhaust. Look at high it sits compared to you. There should not be such a gap from the underbody to where your exhaust is sitting.

Aren't you running an ETS turbo kit? I would suggest switching over to a complete ETS turbo-back setup and have it sit properly...cause yea man, you're exhaust is definitely way too low. Another cheap improve would be the poly hanger bushings they sell, I've got 4 of them on now....they won't stretch out.

Here is a full thread of exhausts on people's evo. You can snoop around and see where the bends, and the hangers are being used.

Somethings definetly not fitting right. It would almost seem like the DP wasnt positioned properly b/c where the cat back bolts up to it is a srtaight shot to the rear, so it DEF shouldnt hang that low

Looks like your 02 to DP position is way too low.

MY Ebay TBE hangs low as hell. Im on s-tech springs, and I have to be careful when pulling in and out f driveways, speedbumps, etc. I dont have a pic of how low it is, but I will get on up later. Mine is fine until the rear section it take a MASSIVE "dip" then does the typical JDM angle. I have considered getting it cut and re-fitted, but it isnt worth it to me, I paid like $200 for the exhaust and plan on getting the Cobb very soon, but I do feel your "pain" on this. it does suck, and aside from having the rear section cut and re-fitted I dont know what else you could do. As far as the downpipe, I am clueless

I've never seen an exhaust sit that low on an Evo before... Something isn't right.

+1 some type of parts mis-match between the O2 and DP here
