Adjusting Exhaust

I recently installed my HKS Silent Hi-Power catback exhaust on my car and the right muffler is hanging lower than the left.

 

How do I go about adjusting it so I can get it to even out? What is the best way to approach this? I also have ralliTek poly exhaust hangers.

 

Thanks in advance!

I would probably want to lower the left....since it is only about an inch away from the bumper, and seems to have more of a vibration on that side.

i can take a pic in about 20 or 30 minutes and post it up....that way you can see what it looks like and give advice on which side you think you would lower or raise.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I tried resizing them but for some reason it didn't work. Had to take them fast. Freaking blizzard outside. I actually think that I should raise the passenger side can up....let me know your thoughts and how to go about doing this.

Thanks, figured it wasn't going to be a walk in the park, by any means. I mean, it's not horrible, but I want to even it out and it's just something little that bugs me. Guess I'll put that on my to do list for this weekend.

Bump....

 

Do I just loosen the bolts where the passenger side muffler connects to the y pipe and take the muffler and try to push it upwards to match the driver's side muffler? I mean the y-pipe is looking pretty level, and where the muffler and y-pipe bolt together, that looks pretty even. Why am I having this **** eyed look?

What I did on my SPT was to loosen all the bolts from the DP back just a little and then start at the muffler to Y-pipe connections and hold the mufflers exactly where you want them to be and tighten the y-pipe bolts making sure any flex/movement went into the y-pipe; then work forward tightening as you go. It is much easier with two people. One to hold mufflers and one to turn the wrench. If that doesn't do it; it sounds like a bigger hammer or torch will be the solution.

That's probably where I went wrong...I installed the exhaust from the downpipe back to the mufflers lastly. Thanks for the advice guys.

Use big zip-ties to help the hanger!!!! It works!!

 

+1

I got mine to hang pretty straight, but still needed one big zip tie to hold the passenger side up a hair and keep it centered. I think I twisted a little bailing wire around that hanger too so the zip tie wouldn't break.

Let's kick this pig!
