Default h pipe/catback joint low

my exhaust is dipping 2"-3" where the H and catback join. Low enough to where it's noticeable when looking at a side from a distance. Held it up and tightened bolts when I changed my muffs and still does the same. Any help pleeeeze.

Do you hear any exhaust leaks, like hissing or ticking sounds?

Also, check to make sure you've got the cat-back in the exhaust hangers right, if you haven't already.

No audible leak, though I do feel a slight spat of air at the flanges. Hangers are proper. B/c thier isn't a serious leak I really wouldn't be worried about it if it didn't look goofy from afar.

Any chance you can post up a pic of the problem? What brand H-pipe is it? Some of them hang pretty low. My SLP Xpipe scrubs over speed bumps sometimes.

Don't know brand, bought used from G.P., didn't have any brand etchings on it. Didn't think any hung lower than others if diameters were equal, 2 1/2". Not just the H, the H gets lower the further back, Slp catback lower the further forward, the lowest point is where the two meet. I'd say that lowest point is a good 2" lower than the front of the H and where the catback starts going up in front of the axle. Not like it hangs like a letter V, but enough to be noticeable. I'll see if I can find my dig cam to take a pic and beat the pain the the **** process of resizing it.
