Beaver Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 hey all. well after lowering the hunter, the mid section of the exhaust pipe, ie under the middle of the car looking from the side, is stupidly close to the ground, and scrapes over speed bumps. its not very fixed so if u reach under you can just lift it up closer to the car, which is where i want it to be. so what would be the best remedy? weld an extra hanger to the bottom of the car? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 You've got this one mate. You can do it! Take it to your nearest friendly exhaust place, chuck it on the hoist and you'll see the problem straight away. Factory exhausts very rarely hang down all hagged like so chances are a mounting point has broken in some way, whether it be at the steel or rubber end. They should fix it for cheaps, usually minimum charge is about $30 for a half hour or something like that but the smaller the place the better. Avoid places with the words pit and stop in the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 ^ hard. potentially get them to shift the muffler from the middle to the rear if possible too or you'll perhaps kill a muffler in no time flat. I did that on my crown but the front resonator is beat up as fuck and it's not even thaaaaaat slammed. has also caused a leak at the flange/manifold join.... mot of my scrapage is from going into our shed which isn't that much of an angle at all hah. 'tis destroying the tin flashing which protects the wooden floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
