Has anyone had the problem where the can of the muffler rides just a bit too high, and on large bumps in the road it will hit the steel bumper just behind the bumper cover?

Does anyone have a solution for this other than bending the hangers?

I was thinking that maybe the rubber hanger mounts were different lengths and I put them back on out of order.

my GP sports would rattle at idle against the bumper. solution lower teh exhuast and grinder away at the lip on the bumper. i only had to take like 1/4" off and no more rattle.

That's a good idea, maybe I can just bend the bumper in right at that point with a crowbar and a dead blow hammer. Just to notch it.

Thanks.

Can't say that i've ever had that problem on my s14mc. The only problem would probably be that V point in the piping that hangs pretty damn low! ;)
