Exhaust Clearence WITH PICS!!!
Well here is my dilemma, I installed a 3' brm exhaust and the clearance is really horrible I've had it on for two days now and been avoiding knows spots where it scrapes.
Now i dont know if there is any solution to fix this problem, could i possibly put in a flex pipe before the down pipe and weld some sort of brace to hold it up, is this possible? Please help me if you've had this problem or know a way to raise my exhaust as there is still at least around 1.5 to 2' room to raise it. BTW I have 16' wheels and megan coilovers and would like to drop it some more as there is still a 1' gap from the fender to the wheel. |

You could put worm clamps around the hangers it will tuck it up to the body alittle more.

If I remember correctly, there are 3 hangers.
One attached to the tranny mount, one near the front of the driver side rear wheel and one closer to the bumper.

I cut the hangers on the rear mount and re-welded them higher so its tucked closer to the bumper. i also had to cut off the tow hitch. and i cut the mount in the middle flipped it and re-welded it. i had to hammer the chassis in around the seat area cause it was rubbing and i made a solid mount in the middle but it only worked when i ran the nismo mounts cause it broke the solid mount when i had the stock mounts. but i dont bottom out on anything now its rad!!!
hope that helped u a little bit check it |

I cut the tow hook off. And then I got a custom made exhaust, with custom length brackets..... no scrapes anywere.
I would Look at getting new rubber hangers as a start. And then shortening the metal hangers.
