Help, GReddy Ti owners fittment issues?

Well had the exhaust put on a week ago and it looks like this







The shop said that it was rubbing against the underbody of my ride so it hangs sorta low. Is this how it's supposed to hang guys? It's a Greddy Ti w/rolled tip. Let me know, thanks.

That is definitely NOT how it is supposed to fit. My also fits snuggly under the bumper. The only fitment issue mine had was it would occasionally barely touch one of the bolts on the heatshield up by the cat. That was an easy fix though, I just cut a little off the end of the bolt and now it is perfect.

nope. also have Greddy TI with rolled tip but it fits great. somethings wrong on the install. my guess is they didn't put the metal holder thing into the rubber that's why it's hanging sooo low.

if you'le notice here

Did a shop install it or did you install it yourself?

pics aren't working so it's hard for me to tell what you mean. Now there is a band clamp on the muffler that you can adjust from side to side and tiny bit of up and down, this should help with minor rear bumper fitment issues...

here's my pictures






for a temporary fix, i wrapped it with heat wrap to make sure the bolt doesnt put a hole through the titanium piping. yes i know Ti is strong, but the piping there is thin and the bolt is pretty pointy. now, the bolt rests on the hear wrap but i can still hear/feel it rattle

Dudely give us some info about Where it is rubbing, pics are coming in now but it's hard to tell where it is rubbing this bolt. But I think these installer did a por job, maybe a hanger was bent . Looks like the Ti pipe is running over to one side rather than straight down the middle....make sure these installer attached the pipe to all the hangers. I didnt use the Next to Last hanger and did away with it when I installed mine....remember this exhaust is a racing type exhaust meant for the JDM rear bumper.....And LASTLY you had better get a rear bumper HEAT shield like Right Now,,,,the Greddy Ti will burn your bumper cause it rides too high right next the USDM bumper....

i have the same exhaust it fits perfectly. Either the guy is doing sumthing wrong, or your car has been in an accident and wherever your ti exh is hitting is bent out of place.

Oh wow, I had the same issue with the pipe knocking on that bolt every so often. So i took it to speed element, they took care of the issue.. I think they took off the bolt, bent the bracket or something.. But now its all good =O
