Exhaust questions?

scupking · Jul 28, 2008

Ok how do I raise my exhaust tips? I'm getting annoyed at how low they are. I went under the car and know how to move them forward and aft but can't move them up or down. This is a picture of the rusted out bolt. What size and where do I get a replacement bolt?

Loosen the rusty bolt that is attached to the rubber exhaust mount.

Once that is loose, push up on the tailpipe untill its at the level you want.

Re-tighten rusty bolt, and whala...

If you are wanting to raise it up alot, you could always drill a new hole underneath the current bolt hole location in the tab on the tip.

haha, that’s what I tried but the rusty bolt moves up and down like it can't hold the tailpipe. Plus when I try to loosening it, rusty peaces fall off the rusty bolt, where can I get a new rusty bolt (none rusty style)?

Just take it to Home Depot or Lowes and find one like it with a nut (if that's how it attaches on the back).

wow.

a bolt shouldnt be going through that rubber clip. a metal rod welded to the exhaust tip should slip through that

this is why your tips hang so low.

Agreed

That bracket shouldn't be there at all, they should look like this

Are those universal tips?

Ah ok.

Sorry, I must have mis-interpreted it when I read it.

x2 for checking at Lowes or Home Depot, or a local Hardware store.

My Mac catback is set up like that too. One bracket adjusts the length the tips stick out, and how high/low they sit.

True, also the rubber bushing gets beat down from vibration. I had mine raised
by the muffler shop. They just heat up the rod with a torch and bend it.

it looks like you have to move that bracket a little farther back also. Looks like the top of the bracket is hitting the bumper reinforcement. i would then loosen the catback connection at the h/x pipe, put a jack/piece of wood under the tips, jack them up to where you want them then tighten the h/x connection back up. worked for me.

You would be right thats a mac catback. I had the flowpaths cut out about a year and a half ago and had maganapacks welded in.
