Dangling Exhaust Pipe

today i was following another gen 3 camry, and i've noticed something. that gen 3 have one of their exhaust pipe that bends towards the ground, as if it looks like it's gonna scrape the ground if it goes over any big bumps... isn't that a bit dangerous?
does anyone notice that?

will a custom exhaust fix this issue? or will any exhaust do the same thing as this is how camry was designed to be?

I got the SAME exact prblem. I even pointed it out to Luistol and Zoni Camry at our last TN meet. I have had no time to get down there to see what I can do to fix the situation. Sometimes I hear it scrape the ground when I drive over a purtuding manhole.

Stock Gen3s are all like that.

New catback with new hangers will fix it.

Yeah. Just like eye8pussies said. I got a catback exhaust and it doesn't bend towards the ground like that now. The stock pipe did though just as all of the gen3 camry that I've seen do.

i noticed it also... although when i went to the mechanic and saw under the car the piping goes under this thin bar between the rear wheels.... and i though to myself... how much closer could i get my exhaust pipes so that it wouldn't scratch....

ah.. i dunno

but is the low-hanging pipe dangerous? it won't come off if i hit a bump or a deep pothole right?? i'm worried that if one day i go over a bump or a deep pothole w/o noticing it and it would snap off hahah...
so a new custom exhaust will fix this problem right? with like a straight through exhaust?
