Motordyne Exhaust hangs too low..HELP!

Having clearance issues with my motordyne exhaust. Took it for a test drive and a man hole clipped my brand new exhaust and ripped the axle back off. Raised my car back up for now to give the exhaust more clearance. From what Ive read on here a lot of people have had the same issue with motordyne hanging really low, has anyone come up with a solution to this? Thanks in advance!

Get used to it. Motordyne for alot of makes have same issue. My 350z was the same and my buddys g35 coupe hangs super low as well. Motordyne is adjustable so best to get under and mess with the vbands. Get a spare tire jack and lift the piping then tighten in place.

Yeah KW coils, car was definitely low to begin with so just more of a reason for me to raise it up. Had to order a whole new section from Motordyne minutes after install due to it being ripped off by the manhole and some kind fella picking it up off the road and taking off with it by the time I turned around to get it.

Yeah destroyed my factory exhaust from bottoming out on speed bumps. has since been raised up to compensate for the motordyne but it was pretty low, coils were maxed out in the rear and had about another 3/4 inches of thread left in the front to go lower

how is your clearance? I just installed a motordyne catback, and I already have Eibach lowering springs and Koni yellow shocks, have any tips to raise the exhaust as it is dangerously low, 2 finger-widths at best

your lowest point of the exhaust the center muffler?

I was on H&R springs and ended up switching to coilovers to raise my car for my Motordyne exhaust.

I had destroyed by flex pipes twice before I just welded standard piping on and that helped with raising it a little. I also made an undertray shield to protect the center muffler from scrapes.
