The mid silencer on the kakimoto regu 06&R hangs very low, i have scraped it a few times. Now its been lowered so i fear it even more going over speed bumps

Mines fairly low, often scrapes the one speed bump in my street :< 99% of speed bumps I'm fine with but only that one in particular.... Doesn't matter how slow I go over it, still scrapes.

Really? I have the kakimoto too and lowered on eibach springs and only one place near me I have to be careful not to scrape the b pipe due to the shape of a side road going over a hump which is quite steep. Fine everywhere else. What manifold are you running?

The b pipe don't scrap just the bottom of the silencer box. I didnt notice i was scraping until i had it on the ramp at tgm last week. The silencer is quite big compared to others.
Im running standard manifold.

Megan Racing Drift Spec exhaust.

Sits higher than OEM. No problems with scraping. Great exhaust :)

Only scraped once with my Kakimoto on Eibach pro springs and that was going into JAE at Wickstead Park.

My exhaust clearance improved significantly after fitting an RM01A and Tegiwa Manifold, my OEM setup scraped a lot more than currently!

Would a manifold make a difference, to the height? Mines mates to oem exhaust manifold

My kakimoto and spoon used to hang low. When you master speed humps with a certain technique it was generally ok though :)

Eibachs here and its about 5 inch from the road. I loaded the car up with camping gear, bell tent, wood burning stove and fishing gear and it went down to about 4inch. Although it all fit with the seats down with room to spare it was far too low for speed bumps and fields! Took my dads car..

Not sure if there are techniques if raised 'bumps' in the road not just smaller speed bumps

My old Kakimoto used to hang stupidly low, but I blamed it on my manifold. Now got a custom 3" and the fitment is perfect.

Change the hangers so it sits closer to the body of the car

such a non techie person
I assume this is with the rubber mount/ hangers? if it can be done, maybe a trip to local exhaust place which would have stuff in stock
