Can anyone in orange county give me a hand adjusting my invidia exhaust? I just had an ap2 rear installed and the tips are touching the bumper. I need a temporary fix until I get my new exhaust and I don

You might not even need a jack to fix this... If you look under the car on both sides near the rear tires, you will see hangers that hold the exhaust up.. There are 3 holes on the hanger and most aftermarket exhausts only have 1 hanger..

So the hanger is like a triangle, one hole on top and 2 hols on the sides.. Use the 2 holes on the sides, which is the furthest apart. One bing on the chassis of the car and one on the exhaust. This should help.

Wanna buy a new exhaust? hahah.

I saw it when I stopped by today when he was installing your bumpers. Better adjust it soon your newly painted rear bumper will be brown very soon.

You dont need a jack at all. Just goto autozone or pep boys and pick up a generic hanger thats about an inch longer then the one you have currently. You might need 4 of them tho since the canisters on the invidia exhaust are pretty light.

Thanks for the heads up I'll give that a shot if the other thing doesn't work tonight.

I didn't see these....I'm assuming it's only for the stock exhaust or certain aftermarket ones?

the invidia has only one hanger attached, and it's hung through a rubber grommet...doesn't look like much I personally can do. It'll probably have to go into a muffler shop tomorrow to manipulate the hanger i suppose. or check for a different / lower rubber grommet piece.
