ashbuster Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) unusual thread title lol but i guess it made you look i was thinking of getting my exhaust repaired just for now because steve has a welder and lives right opposite (holes by backbox) but when i look at it somethings telling me it should hang low like that and im guessing i will have problems fitting my diffuser? any ideas how do yours hang Edited September 5, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Mine hanged quite low until recently, even the pipe out the back looked low - it was the clips where the pipe connects to the back box and eroded so i got some cable ties for now..... works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I robbed a rubber hanger from a hire van at work. Not as big as the proper one, but holds it about 20mm higher. Works much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 My diffuser was a tight fit. That looks similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 ahh nice one guys im guessing the diffuser cant touch the exhaust because of how hot it gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's carbon not chocolate. My thinking is if it can take the heat of a f1 engine then the much lower temperatures of a supra exhaust will be fine. Mine is touching without a problem.

ashbuster Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 ohh i didnt know that nice one mate i shouldnt have a problem then with speed humps, i thought there should be a gap between the diffuser and the exhaust. ill try and get the exhaust higher and fit it , after paint tho. the exhaust will be going, im not even sure what exhaust it is, it could be a universal one. but it will do for now untill i can get my new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If the diffuser hangs lower than your hung low exhaust, it won't live very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 yeah thats what i thought, now i know it can touch the exhaust tho i should be ok , its so thin and my car just misses speed humps at the moment so with this only being about 3mm i should still be fine , i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Exhaust pipe rattling against it is a bad idea, if your pal has a welder you could easily modify it to ride higher. Mine is 10mm from the sub-frame which is minimum clearance for a non rattle hang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 my exhaust has always felt solid, does everyone else back pipe bend like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-_-b Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Mines prob about 10/11" off the floor at the box, bit lower further towards the mid section; If something was gonna catch the floor though on mine it would be before then lool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
