this will help to make the mufflers height adjustable. you need a couple hose clamps, size 7/8 - 2 3/4".

remove the rubber mount for the muffler (to make it slide off easy spray it w/ some wd40)




place the hose clamp around the rubber mount, then reinstall the mount in a fashion which allows you to adjust the clamp w/ a screwdriver.




once it's back on you should be able to tighten the clamp a few turns and even out your mufflers. it also helps to cut down on the side sway that our exhaust tends to have.

Will this also stop them from swaying back and forth?

EDIT: I didn't read to the end.

i have a clamp on both sides and my exhaust doesn't sway.

Excellent Idea. Send this to the FAQ thread.

The clamps will help you control the amount that the exhaust hangers extend thereby giving you adjustability into the height of the exhaust tips.

Haha, I did this to my VW exhaust, didn't know it would work on this car. Excellent!

Did you buy a set for all the hangers or only the rear?

Hm. Anyone got pics or a DIY (for dummies) of how to do it? I noticed my exhaust pipes are hangin a little lower than I'd like, and this sounds so great to do.

Thanks in advance

Matt,

Nice post. I did this several years ago and they ended up snapping. The harsh weather took a toll on those clamps.

The best solution is to get under the car with a piece of pipe and slide the hanger bracket into the opening and bend the sucker into the right spot.

pretty smart.... now if I only had exhaust

Most of those clamps can be taken apart fully - you just unscrew it - wrap it around the rubber mount and tighten - saves having to take off the mufflers...

.... those hose clamps come apart. no need to take it off..

But nice thinking Mattg..

I used to have clamps like that on my car, they kept breaking. Instead I doubled up on the exhaust hangers. I went to Strauss and bought these hangers that look like thin donuts, almost like a vaccuum belt, mounted it behind the stock hanger and it kept the exhaust properly aligned, and they didn't sway much after..

Cusco exhaust hangers will be my solution

...or you can also use zip ties to squeezed the rubber insulators too.
