180sx exhaust touching the ground

[baz88]

Anyone who has an exhaust on there 180, does it scrape the ground going over speed humps or up driveways? MY exhaust did, so im trying to figure out if there was a problem with how mine was sitting or if its normal becasue of the size of the exhaust and how low the car is to the ground.

My exhaust scrapes on some driveways and such, but it really depends on a couple of things like the type of exhaust, old/new rubber exhaust hanger bushings and overall vehicle height I think.

mine scrapes over speedbumps, dogs, small children, whatever. The noise is gut-wrenching but you can only get it so high.

My Circuit Sports exhaust hung realy low at first... I was like

I replaced the worn out exhaust hangers with the Circuit Sports ones. The helped a little. My big problem was that whatever retard previously worked on my cars exhaust put the mount that the exhaust hangers connect to upside down. Once I got that fixed, it was much better.

It still hangs a little low for my tastes, but I don't think it'll be a huge problem when I slam the car.

Mine hangs low, but I recently had it worked on and now it sits a lot better. My cat happened to be upside down, that made everything from the cat back hang a lot lower than it should. Make sure everything is tight, then replace your exhaust hangers.

WTF? How random.

On Topic

Yeah, most low cars will scrape when going over speed bumps and getting in/out of steep drive ways, the exhaust just so happens to be the lowest part of many cars so it takes the brunt of the abuse.

Have you looked at the exhaust to see if maybe the hooks holding it up are broken or something?
