Has anyone else experienced this? I have a Magnaflow Comp catback and the passenger side is hitting on the axle going over rough spots on the road. I can't even run over a pebble without it hitting if someone is in the backseat!!

Yes. There have been multiple threads about this on other forums for lowered cars. Mine does it. You can trim some off the pipes to slide them more forward to center the hump over the axle. I have even heated with a torch and ovaled the pipe over the axle.

Mine used to, but I got under there and fixed it. Just have to find the sweet spot. Good luck, it will work.

Mine is lowered with a GT500 catback. I had the same issue. As mentioned before - you have to find the sweet spot. I loosened my catback at the clamps and rotated them slightly towards the center. After that, I had trouble with the tips hitting the rear valance. A little more rotating and it fixed that as well.
