My mufflers are hanging too low. It doesnt look very good. Is it possible to bend the pipe where its around 6 inches before the mufflers so it flushes with the bumber lip? I'm worried about the risks of it breaking. I can't push the whole exhaust pipe higher as I get occasional vibrations/noise under heavy acceleration. Any info would be appreciated guys.

Yea i did but the Azine search funtion is far from perfect
a manual thread by thread search would yield about the same results

It not about the hangers. I could probably fold the hangers that are already on it. Its the pipe itself that is laid straight this way. I was wondering IF I could bend the pipe witout any risks of breaking ...

I dunno how this guy did it, dunno the full story. I just wanna be sure before I start bending my pipe
These pics are from this forum, dunno if they belong to their original posters but thanks anyways ...

take it to a muffler shop.. they'll heat up the pipe and bend it up.

Thanks man, thats whut i've been thinking from the 1st day I installed the pipes and the garage guy said he didnt have the guts the bend it. I'll take my chances ...

Yes what he said but id go a tad lower than that 2nd pic or have burnt bumper and paint.

Your right... I'll try to leave a small finger gap, should be enough. I have a NBP, shouldn't be too visible if there's smoke dust on bumber ...

yeah.. thats what the exhaust shop did to my exhaust but instead of raising it, i lowered it cause it was smacking against my rear lip, which in return scrapes my rear bumper.

all they did was use a torch and heat the hook that goes into the rubber hangers and they use a pry bar, stick it in the exhaust and push down. in your case, they would have to mess with the hook..

but if you can find a gasket that's big enough to fit around your saggin' rubber hanger, then that'll be the cheaper way out. just my and it actually does work.

Yes a 1/2in would /should work. Give room for the return "bounce" when yo hip bumps. expansion joints, railroad tracks.
