Exhaust scrapage

[supercharger kingy]

hey guys..

i have a lowered vx and i scrap the exhaust like a dog dragging its a55 across the ground..

question is can exhaust shops raise the exhaust closer to the floor pan or will i have to raise the car ???

here is a pic... Its a total of 52mm off the ground.. yes i know defect lol hence why i wanna see if its possible to move up

Don't think so mate, what suspension/springs and wheels do you have on?

I have the same issue with my vx ss on SSL's and steelies....looks bad ass at 140kph across the NT...not!

By looking at it I think the exhaust manufacturers all have different measurements...maybe NAAF can answer this.

The off the shelf systems are probably designed for cars at a standard ride height. If you've modified the ride height, you might need to modify the exhaust too.

Might need to get an exhaust shop to look at altering it or get a custom one made up. Had a custom one made up with mine and he lifted it up as high as possible
without it touching anything but with superlow springs its still illegal at 95mm off the ground (thats on a V8 though). Put more air in your tyres, might give u 5mm LOL...)

lol cheers mate... i have sent a few emails off regarding my problem .... see what needs to be done

doesnt look like it can move up 48mm even if redone custom.

Another example of a quality X Force system...The issue would be the single hanger on the tail pipes allowing the system to hang lower than it really should.

Different brands will fit the car differently. I do Manta and they sit reasonably high. The pipes on the Manta system run right up close to the control arm. At the very least, some cutting and welding would need to be done to get it to sit higher.
