Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 6:58 pm Post subject: Clearance between your highflow cat and ground
I have had a custom 3" front pipe made hooked up to a Venom 3" inlet / outlet + 4.5" body highflow cat connected to Kakimoto single..
I've just measured the distance from cat to ground at stock ride height and it is 10cm Car is getting Coilovers fitted Tues and wanted 2.5" - 3" drop but that will leave cat near on the ground
So those with a round bodied highflow cat, how much clearance have you got ??
I'm a bit pissed off as the front pipe + cat isnt hugging the body of the car.
That means any lower and the car won't go over anything not to mention defect straight up

Hahahaha where is the like button?
Unfortunately unless you run some hectic 20's, if you want out car to look even remotely right wheel to guard clearance wise the thing is going to be riding in the weeds. Which is why I feel buying a 800-900 dollar jap exhaust is a complete waste of cash cause its going to get destroyed if you want you car to look any good.
My lowest point is 83mm and thats the stock cat, my super R's lowest point is about the same....my car is lowered on coils, but is still at legal ride height....my driveway wont allow me to go lower....its pretty dam steep... _________________

It looks like I have 1" + between the top of the cat and the under car..
Will try and get this tucked in closer..
So I'm thinking that unless your running stock cat or catless 3cm - 5cm is going to be about as much clearance if the car's lowered. = No getting into garage / Shopping centre / work carpark lol starting to become a little impractical

about 70mm to lowest point of exhaust here... I can get up my driveway but my front bumper just touches on the way out. Shopping centre ramps are a no-go but it handles most speed bumps, sort of.
Shocking Sotiri ! Honestly to let that go thru like that they should be stripped of there licence asap
Called penny pinching and down right laziness, had a few cars like this myself and i made the fuckheads change it by either reimbursing me and or sending me the section over at there expense
Same with fuel filters and other stuff LAZY ! _________________

I shit you not, I had to reverse down a shopping centre ramp that goes up to the roof as the speed hump at the top would of beached my car.. It was so awkward telling the people behind me to reverse back down..shit you not..will never ever take it to a shopping centre again..
Fuk I hate the car been so low, but it looks so good at that height..you win some you lose some I guess.. _________________
