Low cat. help.

[AKFM1]

For some reason my cat sits really low. It bow's down slightly in the middle Any way i can raise it?

Can post a picture shortly if needed.

does the rest of your system post cat als hang low? the center exhaust mount may be shot

 

[Goodj]

Get it to the vet, could be serious intestinal issues

 

[AKFM1]

yeah the whole exhaust sits quite low really cant seem to find a garage that can sort it my mate is going to post a picture later so if someone can look and help, i'll be over the moon

anyone?

 

[montana]

your cat is on a flexi piece of pipe so will be being pulled down by the rest of the system i am guessing.

Have you checked your mounts?

 

[AKFM1]

yeah the mounts are all fine, just seems to sit so low

 

[George182]

Mine sits that low too! Always has. I tried to sort it when i fitted my rs192, to no avail.

Doesn't bother me that much though. Is yours scraping?

 

[AKFM1]

yeah scrapping real bad everywhere i go, i have just lowered it though which dont help

 

[montana]

Try spinning the clamp 180 degrees that joins the cat to the center section as that looks to be slightly lower than the cat itself, this might be the cause of the scrape

 

[AKFM1]

yeah good idea thanks mate, will get it into garage and sort it out until i can get hold of a decat, think that will solve the problem as they are only a thin pipe

cool, whilst you (or garage) are under there have a quick check everything is in order with the flexi pipe

yeah will get my head under the car too myself, just wish i had my own ramp at home so i can sort it myself! garages here are clueless!

Get yourself some of those little drive up ramps – these are good for exhaust type jobs (I find I can only use them on the rear of my 172 as the front is too low)

Also worth investing in a trolley jack and axle stands
