Flowmaster Scraping Normal?

[what9612]

I recently installed flowmasters on my 00 gt and when someone sits in the back seat the mufflers scrape on almost every bump. is this a normal problem? my car isnt lowered at all. thanks

It's probably not the mufflers scraping the ground. It's most likely the tailpipes rubbing on the control arms as they go over the axle. You'll just need to adjust the cat-back slightly

Holy crap you aren't lowered and you scrape...you must have some fatass people riding in the backseat, or you drive really fast over speed bumps.

can you take a picture of how the mufflers are hung? maybe theyre missing a hanger..


or it could be hitting your control arms/driveshaft.

My guess is that your pipes/mufflers are scraping part of the body of the car. My flowmasters rubbed both my brake lines and fit HORRIBLY between the axel/edge of the car/control arms. I had to take it to a shop to get it aligned properly because the fit was so bad.

the noise might be the pipes hitting a part of the car, because i was shaking the tip and u can see it hitting the rear end. i will take a pic 2morrow

Yea the fit is TERRIBLE. I have a flat spot on both tail pipes from rubbing on the axle tubes.
