I noticed that my corsa sits low, anybody else scraping a lot with lowering springs and a corsa exhaust?

 

Um... I am on TenzoR's and have a Tsudo catback and the piece of piping behind the drivers seat and before the rear axle hangs about 3 inches off the road, scrapes every speed bump I find.

 

on sportlines my magnaflow sits real low too, but i dont scrape.. just take speedbumps and steep driveways on an angle.

 

angles dont help speed bumps because of where the lowest point on my car is. Hills and other transitions angles work...

 

Ya for whatever reason I just took a good look at my ride from a distance and I can see the Corsa sitting low to the ground and thought....man that could get ugly with a lowering kit. I am leaning toward SSC springs so maybe I will be okay we shall see...

 

I did a ghetto "fix" where I used the stock rubber hangers for insolation and ziptied the metal hangers as tight as possible it has lasted about 300 miles and raised my exhaust up about 1/2 inch(I know it isnt much but still.

 

sportlines+gmpp= resonator scrape here. thing is huge, not sure about the size of corsa's though. anyway im going to try the hose clamps. if that doesnt help enough, im going to have a shop weld in some shorter hangers. but even a half inch would help.

 

Ya know if the car is 1 inch lower and one can pull up the exhaust by 1/2 inch then that is HUGE! I may try it if I run into issues.

 

take a hose clamp and wrap it around the middle hanger and tighten it down. it will lift up the exhaust and will actually last. and it still uses the rubber as a bushing

 

Oh yeah, still eats up speed bumps but isnt so bad on hills and driveways.
That is basically how my Ziptie trick went.

 

That is a DAMN good idea!

 

someone else had the idea too, i was gonna post it on a thread a while back, but he beat me too it. i didnt take his idea, because i thought of it too, i just dont want him to think i'm stealing his credit.

 

Eh, I got it from one of my friends, he said it jokingly and meant ziptying around the actual pipe... I thought about it and found some high heat zipties and threw them on the hanger.

 

I am sitting here being lazy....with that in mind...what size hose clamp did you guys use?

 

the size that fit around our hangers... lol idk i just found one laying around

 

I would think anything bigger than 3" will do, might be 3.5 or so though so dont take my estimate as a definate answer.
