How high are your exhaust tips in the bumper when it's set that way? Hopefully they are really close to the bumper arc so you can drop it a 1/2" and it won't look funny.

 

The left is about three quarters of an inch from the bumper and the right it is about an inch from the bumper not exactly even . Hard to tell from looking at it from 10 feet back.
I was hoping to bend just the front hangers and not the back so the exhaust tips dont drop anymore.

 

loving all the pics. I might look into this for an exhuast setup. MOAR info!!!

 

Yeah, hopefully that will get you enough relief in there. G/L and post up your results.

 

any updates? Did you guys figure out a way to fix this without bending the hangers?

 

I finally got a chance to get under the car today and loosen all the hangers and the both mufflers. I was going to bend the rear hanger up but it will bring the muffler tips
to low it all works together . I was able to maintain an eighth of an inch clearance from the body to the exhaust pipes I did this by holding pressure on the exhaust to one side when tightening the hangers. That seemed to do the trick no rattling noise at all and Muffler is very tight.
The only downside is the tail pipes are still not exactly even about a half of a inch hight differance. If I try to bend the back hanger it will make the pipe touch the car again .Do not want to do that. Pipes must not be a hundred percent perfect. GOOD ENOUGH.

 

GSPEED I'm having the same issue you are with regards to the pipes hitting the control arm on the rear suspension. I do not have any rattles but every time I go over any decent size bump, the exhaust flies up and clanks together with the control arm (passenger side). Its getting old quick, especially after a 3 hour highway trip that I routinely make. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a deal breaker for me because at this point I'm ready to put the stock exhaust back on.

Anyways, has that adjustment you made solved the problem? Do I simply need to loosen the hangers and apply downward pressure and then re-tighten? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me on this. Thank you!

 

If I were you I would loosen the flange on the muffler and loosen both hangers on the rear section on the problem side and have someone hold pressure on the rear exhaust pulling it away from the body while you tighten every thing back.
I was able to maintain a 1/8 " away from the body and it does not move on bumps. You might want to make sure your hangers are not worn and sloppy.
They sell replacements at PEP BOYS.
I called the guys at Top Speed and they said I should not have to bend any thing .I think the pipes have a slight defect in them[wrong bend].
GOOD LUCK

 

Interesting that it's just the guys that have gotten the most current sets that seem to be having fitment issues. Something has changed w/ this latest batch as it seems to be consistent. Hopefully anyone that's been affected by this can get them to work out w/ just a little effort. TopSpeed needs to be notified by anyone that's having problems so THEY can get this sorted out, it shouldn't come down to you guys having to tweak & bend to make them fit

 

Ok I will try doing that! How do you like the exhaust so far?

 

It's strange to me that it only occurs on the passenger side (in my case.) However, I'm really liking the exhaust aside from the fitment issue. To be completely honest, when I heard it for the first time, it was nowhere near the sound I was hoping for. I was praying it sounded somewhat close to a stock coupe but it didn't lol. After about a week or so, the sound has definitely grown on me. It's very deep and bassy, but it sounds pretty mean when you get on it. I just wish it had a little more rasp to it.

 

I was having issues with both sides of the pipes touching the body of the car but overall I like the sound of the exhaust and everybody that heres it from the outside tells me tha it t sounds good.

 

The one thing I like best about the exhaust is the added power. Now granted it's not much, but I have definitely noticed that the car now pulls harder as the rpm's climb. Also, my gas mileage has gone up a tiny bit too which is always nice.
