    Did try and search but couldnt find anything of note. Basically i put a 4-1 s/s mani on my 2002 VTR, I originally kept the old centre box and had a custom back box. I couldnt stand the constant droning on the mway so I've just put on a 2nd hand underfloor cat and sportex race tube. Sounds fine, a lot quieter, all fits nicely, but it seems that the cat hangs far too low. The car is dropped about 40mm (unsure exactly as was like when I got it) but I think i'll struggle with speed bumps. Does anyone have a pic of what an underfloor cat should look like when attached? I tried rotating it but its in its highest position. Just wanna check I havent done anything dumb as I never had an issue when I just had the centre section... ta all

    What sort of Cat is it?
    Sports cat or?

    Ive just had a 4-1 raceland installed and a sports cat, ive had the car lowered around 100mm, and its not the lowest point... You could try getting some tighter hangers, This should pull the exhaust up a few mm.

    PM me if you want a picture or 2, it will show you how ive done it
