I just lowered my car, which is why I didn't notice til now, but my mufflers and the pipes right to the front are extremely low!! I'm talking barely 3 inches. I will scrape on anything and everything. It's not because the car is so low, it's because the pipes and mufflers are. My friend welded them on for me, and obviously he did something rather interesting!!

My question is, how can I go about bending them up? I also need to center the tail pipes in the bumper as well. Can I heat them up somehow? Any suggestions?

If I get nothing, I will use this as an excuse to get the topline cat-back with spintechs! alls i need is an excuse

you can bend them by heating them up, but you are going to affect the flow of th exhaust.

i think it sounds like a good time to get the topline as well and have them professionally installed

well, ill be able to install them myself as they are just bolt-ons, i believe.....but i'll tally that as 1 vote for the topline. Anymore opinions would be great. Also, would a mandrel bent system flow noticeably better for a s/c'd car?

thanks

You can weld some hangers on there....if you dont have them.

Two right off of the tranny crossmember, two on rear of muffler to right on the side of the upper control arms, and two on the tip to the frame in the rear.
