Default Lift the exhaust to give more clearance

Hello Boys N Girls.

I have a HKS True Dual replica exhaust on my car but i've noticed that in general the exhaust sits quite low on the 350z compared to the rest of the buttom of the car.

the exhaust always scrapes when crossing speed bumps even if the car is set at almost stock height.

I looked underneeth and looks like i can get almost en inch if the exhaust is moved? but i was wondering if anybody know of a way to do it? shorter cats / test tipes specificly build for this purpose?

Hope you can help my out

Simon

no such thing as shorter cats or test pipes to raise your exhaust, what you can do is go to exhaust shop and have them weld shorter mounts to raise the exhaust, just make sure they dont raise it too much to where you cause leaks in the exhaust. The HKS exhaust has been R&Ded to perform specifically the way it was built but it still is just pipes.
