Just put hose clamps around the existing rubber hangers - it allows you to make small adjustments, or to raise further so there's not such a large gap. IMHO, a different rubber hanger is not going to solve the problem becuase it has to do with the angle of the bends of the new muffler mounting rods!

i'm wearing the additional rubber hangers and it has permentanly solved the problem...Mike if i were to concider an exhaust it would be comps with silencer or MINI draggers,no ,offense ,but the draggers for the accord just seem too much for me...

Dragger

-Mike

Where did you get the dragger exhaust from? Was it easy to install? I have a 2003 CL-S will it fit my car?

Titand19, I bought them used but check out www.autocarparts.com They're very easy to install. Only 2 bolts and 2 hangers to deal with per side. Just make sure you have a breaker bar or a large wrench cuz you'll need it to get the exhaust off.

Holy smokes where'd you come from? Long time no see! Thanks for the tip. I think I try the clamp first and see how that goes. How big of a clamp did you use?

Re: Re: Fix for uneven exhaust tips?

steve, are you saying to double up on the hangers on the one side only?

i noticed almost all CL/TL the right exhaust hangs lower..how weird that the driver is. alright...I'll just go out and get an extra rubber hanger and stuff it there. Would OEM honda ones work? or sag like usual?
