There's a reason why mazda designed the exhaust the way it is. Have fun trying to drive in the real world with an exhaust hanging that low.

Sorry if I seem like a hater, but jeez, you're going to scrape up your pipes real nice.

Does anyone have a picture of this exhaust unintstalled? I don't understand why it would have to curve down the way it is. From the pictures, it looks as if it would be fine parallel instead of angled down.

I've scraped mine a few times, and all I have is Racing Beat. Good luck bro!

If you think that's low you should see my front bumper On a serious note this isn't my daily driver I appreciate the concerns but the exhaust hangs around where the lowest part of the axle is.

The deisgn was to minimize bends. There are no 90 degree bends anywhere.

DAMN that is low, no 90 bends but you have to bend your driveing a hell of a lot more to get over speed bumps and anything else for that matter. It does look nice though.

No you dont.. its in line with the axle ..therfore you dont have to worry about the exhaust one bit.. there is ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBLE WAY you can hit that exhaust on a "normal" speedbump.. its not low its just smart in its design, trying to make it as free flowing as possible by minimizing curves...
