sorry if this is a repost i couldnt find anything about it in the search.
i just had the ss/sc catback installed on my LT sounds great btw, but i noticed yesterday that the part where it was welded back together hangs down pretty far, where the stock part was tucked under the car completly. my question is how should i remedy this

option 1 is to use exhaust straps and sinch it up

option 2 is to cut that peice out and have a new tube bent and welded in replacing it altogether

option 3 of course is to buy an after market when i have the cash

problem is it looks bad hanging down that low also with sportlines installed on the car its really low and might scrape any advice or pics of how you may have fixed this problem would be great.

Are you sure all the hangers are in place?

^^Agreed, check the hangers again. If nothing else, I'd use the straps and cinch it up.

Take a hammer to it :P

I would see if everuthing is properly lined up, it looks like something might be slightly off.

i looked at it 3 times on a rack and everything is hooked up good, 2 muffler shops looked they both wanted to cut the part out and replace it

Kinda eliminates the whole reasoning for getting the cheaper SS exhaust instead of aftermarket......trying to save some money. Take it back to the shop that did it and tell them they welded it wrong.

i guess i will just leave it like that for now i already dumped a to much cash on the car this week plus i gotta have some money to make it to the austin meet this weekend maybe i can get someone there to take a look at it and see what went wrong

Mine is the same way, thats just how the SS/SC pipe fits. When I looked at mine its close to the floor pan already, there is no room to move the pipe up. I'm figuring nobody with an SS/SC notices because they have the side skirts.

This is the 1st time I've seen the SS rims on a 2.2.

So what if you have an exhaust shop put one on? I've been thinking of buying and SS/SC exhaust. This worries me

well when i got home last night i had a stroke of genius, so i took a floor jack put it under the low spot on the exhaust pipe and lifted up till the back wheel came off the ground, i did that on 2 different spots. when i let the jack down the last time there was about 3 inches of clearence between the jack and the pipe that wasnt there before, i also took the jack and raised up the muffler till the exhaust tip was in the right spot then strapped it up with exhaust straps. then took a test drive. it looks a lot better now i will take some pics later.

DallasCobalt

When you take pics of the exhaust, take closer pics of the car where we can see the rims too.
