96ponyboy Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Okay does anyone know of a good idea to bring the x up? it hangs to low for any angle or speed bump... speed bump yanked it off this morning before school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sorry to hear the speed bump got you this morning. Not sure how much room there is to riase it, I would have to see under the car to try to figure something outmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Looking at the one picture you have of the new exhaust it seems that the pipes should tuck in tighter and closer to the transmission, that would let you raise it up more in the front. Not sure how much you could raise it in the rear, you have to watch your driveshaft clearance at full suspension droop.Where did the exhaust contact the speedbump at?matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.greg Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Only way I can think of to get it to hang higher would be to disconnect/loosen the bolts enough to wiggle it at the catback and exhaust manifold and try to jack it up a bit then re-tighten the bolts to the manifolds and catback. Was it leaking at all? Seems like it would have to have fitment issues if it was hanging THAT low haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96ponyboy Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 To Matt, it hit right where the x pipe slides onto the pipe coming from the manifolds. and yea i dont know why it hangs so low... i have a picture of it im about to post also.

PRPVinyl Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 What material is it, stainless?It should definately fit up tighter to the trans and the body. You can try like greg suggested and loosen all of the fittings(do not completely remove) and use a floor jack to lift it up then tighten everything up and see if that will hold it up tighter, other wise you will have to do some fabricating to make everything fit up tightermatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96ponyboy Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Stainless, and yea i would love to just weld a bracket to hold it up, dont want to hack it all apart... <--- (sounds pathetic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't blame you for not wanting to hack up a new exhaust system. My X-pipe on the Nova is a custom G-fab unit (a.k.a. I made it myself). I only have a MIG welder so I can not weld stainless. I will try to help you this weekend if you can't get it figured outmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
