Do you need the Cats to be legel in CA? if not just let them grind away and then it will give you a good excuse to get some custom exhaust.

Yes, the cats are required here in the nanny state. He has to raise the car. It doesn't look low enough for the cats to scrape, so maybe there's an issue with how the exhaust is mounted.

Put your car up on a lift and see what is scraping. It could be an easy fix.

Yea thats exactly why i was confused. the CATs shouldnt be scraping, theres alot of other parts that would scrape before the CATs would.
