    Default VP Wagon Muffler/Exhaust Dragging on Road

    Well something has happened to the exhaust on my VP wagon and it has started dragging on the road producing sparks which was pointed out to me by another motorist.

    It's low from about the middle of the car back so how do I put it back up is it just bolted in or has welding come undone? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    there is a rubber hanger that goes about in the middle of the car it has four holes in it and is tight to fit but can be done with a little ky.
    they break all the time.

    Buy two and keep the spare in the car. They always break at some inconvenient time.

    The hardest part is bending open the little clips that fix the rubbers to the hanger. Even that takes about a minute to do. Just use a flathead screwdriver to pry the little strips on the clips open, slide the clip off (BUT DON'T THROW IT AWAY YOU WILL NEED IT WHEN YOU FIT THE NEW RUBBERS UNLESS NEW RUBBERS COME WITH THEM!!), slide the new rubber on, bend the strips back in and slide / clip the clips back into place.

    When you get under your car and have a look, you will see what i mean.

    Unless his wagon is a V6, in which case it's possible that all the rubbers just hook on
