Just wondering if any of you guys who have fitted round bodied high flow cats have had clearance issues getting over speed humps etc after they have been fitted.
Just wondering if its worth purchasing a round bodied cat or try and search for a oval bodied one for added clearance. Cars in particular are lowered ones on Low-superlow springs.

I've got SL's on the back and lows on the front.
Have no issues with mine at all.

Thanks mate. What headers are you running?
Im running comp headers and the collector seems to sit lower. I just want to avoid scraping on anything if I can avoid it.

Ah that will make a difference to position. The collector on my headers sits lower so positioning of the cat is most probably going to be lower than where yours currently is.
