Default How low does it hang? (6gen)

Anyone have pics of their muffler on 6gen coupe? Particularly, Greddy Evo II on the i4 coupe? Is there a way to adjust how low this hangs? I have had it on for a few days and have already had that teeth gritting soud going over speedbumps. I also have it dropped on Tien SS's 1.75 in front, 1.5 in back with a box, 2x12w6v2's, and amps in the trunk. If I stiffen up the rear shocks will that help?

Here's some pictures on my non-lowered 6thG Coupe. Same exhaust.

That last pic looks like the tip is touching you bumper...that's not right, is it?

That's what sucks about Accord rear bumpers...there's no real cut-out for a tip, hence most aftermarket mufflers hang down real low.

No dude. My GReddy does NOT touch my bumper. If you want better pictures I'll go take some sometime today. Those are from last summer anyways.

Edit: Look at 2nd picture, you can obviously tell there the tip is under my bumper becuase you can see most of it.

The reason the Evo hangs low is because the original exhaust design is oval so there is really not enough room to put anything other than an oval styled exhaust as you know the Evo's round canister is too big for a location that housed an oval unit, thats why I chose the Magnaflow because it has an oval canister just like the factory one.

Does Magnaflow make a complete cat-back system, or just sell a muffler specific to the '98-'02 Accord I4? Or, is there a cat-back manufacturer that incorporates a Magnaflow into their system? How much more hp & torque will one realize using a complete cat-back system vs just installing a Magnaflow muffler. And, lastly, any recommendations re: low restriction cat converters. (my son's 2nd gen Integra barely squeaks thru smog in NC w/ one he got from Summit. . .) Thanks.
