Anybody have a problem where the Hahn exhaust sits too low? Everything seems nice and tight, no leaks, used the old exhaust hangers, and it's touching the rear axle. It's also sitting a bit low immediately ahead of the rear axle. Any ideas on what it might be or something that I missed on the install. Thanks.

 

Thats strange mine sits perfect, but one bend in the cat back does sit a bit low but its normal. Are you sure all of the hangers are connected? Maybe you need new rubber hangers.

 

thats how mine is as well lol if you stand far away on the drivers side you can see it right before the axle. and when people are in the back seat it rattles over the axle.

 

backseat is for decoration only

 

Oh boy.... i just bought this exhaust... :-(

 

I wouldn't worry the exhaust is the ****. I love it. If its sitting correctly it shouldn't make any rattling noises and it should be tucked up under the car pretty well. Maybe you guys need to do some adjusting or try to get some better rubber hangers.

 

Mine fits perfect just wish they decided to put the flange bolts somehwere other then right over the rear axel.... check your hangers.

 

I double checked hangars and they're all good. It looks like it'd have plenty of clearance if the exhaust was sitting 1/2 inch forward on the car. I wonder if the connection at the 3-bolt flange isn't on far enough.

 

check it and see

 

It looks like it's on far enough. When I lowered it back down, it had about 1/2 inch of clearance. I started the car up a few times and it started touching again. Something must be loose.

 

The stock exhaust sits low as well in front of the axle. It must be a clearance thing. Try wrapping the pipe with header wrap where its touching or could be touching.

 

Ill bet, the straps and joint nuts got tighten before checking it for clearance.. and the pipe touchin the floor/frame or supsension in some way.. to stop this from happening..

1: loosen all of the straps and both joint nuts, (because if you tighten the strap, you wouldn't have any play in the pipes to get clearance to the floor/ frame/ suspension or anything else..)

2: slide the "S" pipe back and fourth to give that pipe some play (this is the "S" pipe before the muffler and suspenion)

3: where the "S" pipe makes it first turn - make sure there is at least 1'' clearance from the floor/frame on both sides of the pipe

4: at the end of the turn on the "S" pipe make sure there is at least 1'' clearance so the pipe isnt touching any part of the suspension or frame, so the muffler can move and not touch the rear bumper cover

5: now move the tail pipe up and down and look to see if the pipe is touching anything else, if so adjust the "S" pipe and muffler until the pipe isnt touching anything

6: now tighten the straps and both joint nuts

now none of the exhaust pipes shouldnt be touching anything either the frame or floor or supsension

 

understand, if anyone here has a lowered car, then it's going to most likely sit on the rear torsion beam. My car is lowered on progress springs and koni shocks and struts. Mine rested on the rear beam, and I had to adjust it in a specific way to get it to clear whether I had one or four people in the car. If you'd like to know then send me a pm. that way it won't clutter this thread.
