Auto parts store, buy a shorter hanger for the low one, swap'em out, call it a day

You might wanna loosen up that side when you hang it and then tighten it down while it's up snug. It's a pretty common issue with 'stangs.

Use a floor jack under the H of the H-pipe and bring it up a bit when tightening all the bolts up. I also use a pair of jackstands, one under each muffler. That way I know all my heights are right on when tightening. The farther you jack up the H-pipe, the more of the exhaust tips you'll see.

"question on dumps "



Drink a pot of coffee while eating a fiberous cereal to get things churning.

When the gas starts to smell like burning hair, deployment is immanent.

Grab a couple of stang magazines and head to the throne.
Note: If you start to feel voilently ill, bring your custom grab handles and install them on the side of the throne.

I better stop.
