does your h pipe scrape on speedbumps? everytime i go over speedbumps, no matter how slow the cats always scrape. i did remove the h pipe once, so could it be i didn't put it back on right, or sportlines just that low?

Just be careful w/ driveways and speedbumps or you might end up w/ bad cats like me [Frown] (bassani xpipe)

bassani x pipes hang way lower than all the other pipes ive seen, does anyone know some sort of quick fix to get them up higher?

My 95 scrapes very rarely with sportlines and Mac Off-road pipe. The thing I've got to look out for is the fascia.

This is the solotion, it solved my scraping problems.

Cut off the exhaust hangers on the pipe itself. Now the pipe will hang for the headers and mufflers. After you cut the hangers off the pipe itself have the mufflers removed and have the exhaust hangers on there shortend and re welded not oo much but a bit. Now when you put your pipe on it will now hang from the headers and the mufflers and tilt to the back in an upwards fashion not much but enough to take most of the scraping away.

By eliminatin the exhaust hangers on the pipe itself it takes away a lot of inteior sound as well as rattling.
