It's probably not the mufflers scraping the ground. It's most likely the tailpipes rubbing on the control arms as they go over the axle. You'll just need to adjust the cat-back slightly

Holy crap you aren't lowered and you scrape...you must have some fatass people riding in the backseat, or you drive really fast over speed bumps.

can you take a picture of how the mufflers are hung? maybe theyre missing a hanger..


or it could be hitting your control arms/driveshaft.

My guess is that your pipes/mufflers are scraping part of the body of the car. My flowmasters rubbed both my brake lines and fit HORRIBLY between the axel/edge of the car/control arms. I had to take it to a shop to get it aligned properly because the fit was so bad.

Yea the fit is TERRIBLE. I have a flat spot on both tail pipes from rubbing on the axle tubes.
