exaust/header issue

i have the kamikaze headers with a custom cat back. it hangs way to low, my high flow cat bottoms out every speedbump there is... anything i can do to the header or the exaust piping to raise it a lil?

If I'm not mistaken, the kamikazi header goes all the way back to the cat right? If so, I'm sure it connects to those two rubber hangars the old flex pipe used to connect to right? Other than that, I wouldn't see why it would hang any lower than stock if what I said above is the case. Are you lowered at all?

It might be the cat-back causing it. Are all the hangars connected in the rear? I think there are 3 of them...

yes.. i think the kamikaze headers r the cause of it since it connects right to the cat.. nothing to do with the catback since its connected the cat and the cat hangs low cause of the headers

I've got the Kamikaze with downpipe, I'm lowered on Progress Springs and never had a banging issue. Did you attach the Downpipe's hangers?

It might be a bit lower, but not as much as what you're describing here

Crawl under your ride and see if anything is missing

Do you see the Downpipe, the center pipe, or the whole thing?

If you have access to a cam, let us see a picture
