I just put the SLP catted X on my car today and it leaks sooooooooo bad... the leak is louder than the exhaust... my mechanic rechecked it and he has the clamps as tight as they go but it leaks at the cats really bad... the slp x pipe is in a bunch of pieces and the cats get clamped in.. i dont know what to do but my car really sounds like crap at the moment.. and on top of that my mufflers bang against something now.. AND the X sits about 2.5 inches from the ground and i already scraped it once on the way home....what should i do? i dont think companies take exhaust back please help cuz if i have to put the stock one back on that would be a waste of $400

did you guys slip the pipes all the way in? you might need to add some high temp silicone ........as far as your cat back its hitting either the frame or upper control arms form the rear end. As for the mid pipe hanging a bit low put a jack at the cross over and raise it up but first you have to loosen everything then raise it a bit and retighten.

just wanted to add that if you do have to use some hi temp silicone make sure if you are using it at the manifolds that you get the kind that's safe for o2 sensors. I used some cheaper car quest stuff once and my o2 sensors stared acting up and I had to clean them with a torch. good luck with the leak bro...
