Default Exhaust Sagging..

I looked under my car today and my exhaust Is sagging. Idk what else to do. i've tightened all the nuts and everything. Do MAC H pipes just hang this low?my friends Mac h's dont hang this low. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Theres no way i could put H&R supersports on my car, my exhaust would drag constantly.








ewwwwwwwww

Wow, hanging way to low. I had my clutch replaced trans shop put my stuff on low i was able to loosing everything up and push upwards. Might want to take to a muffler shop have them bend it... is it possible your first pipe is on upside down

Loosen everything up, put a jack under the midpipe, jack it up so its tight under the car and re-tighten it up.

With mine it would start to sag after a while so I just wrapped a hose clamp around the crossover in the midpipe and my torque arm Crossmember. Hasn't sagged since.

BOOM!

My car has H&R SS and I have NEVER scraped the midpipe. Mine is so tucked up there its ridiculous. I scrape my chin spoiler all the time though

I spent an hour on three different occasions jacking my midpipe up, and tightening, jacking up and tightening.Try getting new rubber exhaust hangars... That helped mine too...its cleannnn now
