honestly thats bullsh!t cuz my car is dropped and my exhaust pipes hang very very low. in order for u do some real damage to that pipe u'd mess up more than ur B pipe and ur cat convert. u'd mess up ur header, oil pan, transmission block and so on. since they're all localed in the same area. u can get a Boral B section i paid like 80-90 for mine. exact stock fit and look just diameter is larger for preformance gains.. BTW i ahve a 5th gen accord
