It's angles. You have to to position the x pipe so that it run parallel to the floor. Then the pipes that are infront of the mufflers look to be about 90* off & need to be rotated so that the mufflers sit up in the pockets under the rear seat. They are NOT supposed to be level with the x pipe, but well above it.

well for starters turn the flange on the front connection so that it's not up and down, that isn't helping the scraping thing any. After that loosen the rear connections, jack up the piping and then retighten. You'll gain atleast a few inches that way. My car had the exact same midpipe/catback on it last summer and my cars lowered ~1.5". At first i'd scrape on mild bumps or crowned roads. After I did what I just told you to do, I never scraped again over the same bumps.
