Catalyic Converter Scrape

[Lampard]

Hi there guys, for some reasons when I reverse down my garage my Cat Converter scrapes the concrete and it doesn't sound nice. I have a Legacy B4 2000 BE5.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do.

Thank you!

Hes got a standard b4 and standard height... and wants to lower it! your going to run into worse scraping when you lower it more! park infront of the garage?

Build a new, cat-friendly drive way.

;D

Great hahha. I will try doing that. Maybe I should just remove the cat converter.

just dig a hole in your driveway, so you have wheel path, but clearance under your car...

hahah sweet. Better start digging. See you guys in a year! =P

Deal with it. Both my cats scrape as well as my rear mufflers.

My front bumper, both cats, muffler and exhaust tip scrape every time I pull into my driveway or the driveway at work. Just deal with it.

what you can do is build up the driveway a little at the right point to lift the rear wheels a little higher when the cat scrapes. i.e. stop car right on the point it scrapes. Get out of car. Mark position of rear wheels. Move car. add cement/wood/sand/plastic hump, whatever. probably 500-1000mm in length would do it. would only need to raise up an inch or so.
