the only cure is fit a magnex or raise the car - common problem with other makes of exhaust

PS caps lock is located on LHS of keyboard - press it

Weld a straight 3" pipe in there instead and do away with it

not sure if a magnex will solve your problem, i am running one and it still catches and if yo u catch it hard it pulls the hole system back so that the down pipe makes contact with the prop shaft

My standard exhaust used to catch on EVERYTHING, I mean like a Rizla on the road would do it.

Then I put on a full Mongoose exhaust, and lowered the car, and it catches a lot less than standard exhaust and standard ride height - go figure
