Went to do my Emissions Test. Passed with flying colours! So, the angry cop way is great for Ontario Zed's.

I went to go do this mod, and I don't see how you got the magnaflow exhaust to fit. We placed it up there by hand and it touched both sides of the firewall thing and was hanging lower than the car.

I have exact same year/model as your car, and purchased exact same magnaflow.

My magnaflow isn't flush. It hangs a TINY bit low but NOT lower than the body itself. I have H&R lowering springs, plus the magnaflow hanging a TINY bit lower, and I clear speedbumps without a hitch. No problems what so ever. No rubbing. No rattles.

To help you out, I will raise my car and take some photos and videos for you I really recommend this mod because the exhaust sounds awesome! Stay tuned for this weekend.

I'm a bit late to the party but I agree, mine hangs a bit low but it's acceptable... my car is very low and yeah it drags on a few driveways etc but it's not a problem driving down the road. Also I dont think it's wider than my tunnel was...

Gotcha. At the time I was trying to get this done, I already had future plans to lower the car so I decided not to install the magnaflow hanging below the car.

Since then, I have installed coilovers and my car struggles with speed bumps, where the entire underbody will scrap...
