I just found out that my exhaust system is going to cost me another $500 to get raised as it all needs to be redone, my cat if fooked and he is going to put a better muffler on it as well.
After the superlows went in my already problematic cat height dropped to 4.3cm. I scrape on my driveway and it is flat!! There does my cam and retune money  : /rant

Its already getting taken care of. Im happy with the price considering he is changing the muffler and cat, pipe over the diff and whatever else.
Its just a pain cos that money was going towards going faster!

I got exhaust fix in croydon to do it. He did a nice job, he just replaced the middle section and modded the tail pipe over the diff. I drove to st kilda marina last night and didnt scrape anywhere. I have about 95mm clearance but I reckon it will be fine once the 17's are back on. I have 14 inch stockies on there now.
Im not too fussed about the rideheight from a defectable point of view, I think if they are going to get me it will be the turbo that does it. In which case Ill buy a newer car and transfer everything.
