i rencently installed FRPP headers, BBK o/r h-pipe and a magnaflow catback exhaust. the sound is a lot better then stock exhaust mani's, stock h, and flows.

BUT....

the BBK H-pipe sags a little on the passenger side and is too low for my liking(very very very slow over speed bumps, driveways, etc.) i would say i have maybe 4-5 inches clearance max. everything is mounted up correctly and in the proper hangers etc.

has anyone had any problems with this before, any possible solutions? thanks in advance

Loosen the H-pipe on both ends and put a floor jack under the middle set it where you want it and tighten it. Might have to realign your tailpipes afterwards.

Get a floor jack and put it right under your H. Loosen the flange at the headers and at the muffler/h section, then jack it up to where it's just about hitting the floor, then tighten it all back up.

Sorry about the thread jacking but I have a question about my BBK H-pipe.

What is the small 90 degree pipe fitting that right behind the hangars? I blocked off the O2 sensor ports but I'm not sure what the other is for.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem until I replaced my tranny and crossmember bushings with energy polyurethane, than my exhaust magically rose about an inch. These should be changed either way as I'm sure your stock ones are shot.

I believe that's a hookup for a hose that runs off the smog pump or some smog related part.
