As many of you guys may know.. our 2G TL has this common problem where our right muffler/exhaust sits lower than the one on the left. I've searched the forums and some people use a jack and a block of wood to make it sit higher while others have it done at a shop.. but does anybody know a cheap and effective way to do this? Any pics for the process? I just installed my 3A tips and the right side is now noticeably lower even from a far distance.

 

You posted the cheapest way to do it (free). You want to bend the front muffler hanger bracket up a little. Figure out how much higher it needs to go.

I removed the muffler so I could get to it easier. Then I took a tape measure, measured from the ground to the bottom of the bracket. Put the jack/block of wood under the bracket and jack it up. Go slow. Take a measurement after each time to see how much it's moving.

It's extremely easy to do.

 

this is the best, easiest and free way to do it. Takes very little time and works well. You can also buy shorter rubber hangers, but that costs money where as the other method is FREE

 

what about the zip tie method? where would you actually put the zip ties in between ? i believe rajca has done this to his exhaust before..

 

You'd need heavy duty zip ties but then all of the weight would be on the zip tie. They eventually break.

 

Just bend the hanger.

 

^ the hanger as in the black rubber thing? how do you take off the muffler? seems very tight up there.. do i need a lift machine?

 

How would you bend rubber? The metal hanger that the rubber attaches to is what you bend.
(i was able to bend mine with the muffler on the car)
You dont need a lift. Crawl under the back of the car, take the 2 bolts off that hold the muffler on, then spray some wd40 on the rubber hangers and take teh muffler off. Follow NSXNEXT instructions.

 

hose clamps?
