exhaust bottoming out (damnit)

[Ladynredsi]

jer put on the rear Wings West bumper for me last night. as most of you know i only have maybe an inch & half (2" at most) ground clearance with that exhaust. he had to lower the exhaust some so the tailpipe would fit the cut out in the bumper. now the exhaust isn't even 1/2" off the ground

i know when i stick my enkei's back on it'll bring the car a little more off the ground. but not enough. does anyone know how i would go about bending or getting the piping bent from the canaster to the tip. if it were bent downwards then the tip would clear the bumper cut out and the canaster can be raised back up where it was.

damn...did any of that make sence? LOL!

Try to find someone that does custom exhausts. I have had pipes bent before by ehxuast people, they have a machine that bends it. If you know anyone who could do that, let them take a look at it and see if they could bend it around for you!

I do custom exhaust, and for our cars the best thing to do in your case would be to would be to take it to a shop that does cutsom exhasut and tell them your problem and tell them how you want the muffler to hang. It's a difficult situation but if they are good than they should be inventive and be able to figure out something. If not than let me know and i will see what i can figure out.

what i would do is cut off the piping and have it mandrel bent upward so that your muffer remains horizontal.

I bought smaller rubber hangers for my muffin shooter, that brought it up like a 1/2 inch to inch higher with no other problems. But with the WW kit i dunno how that helps ya. I would keep it...you have enought civics its gonna have to fit on one of them hehe. If not, cut it up...mount the muffer itself on your VW...i'm always thinking Ami
