I put my Magnaflow exhaust on Thursday evening. The trumpet tips are so close to the rear bumper valance, about 1/16 of an inch. After the install, I heard on occasion when the car is cold, what sounded like the tips rubbing against the bumper valance. I checked the clearance of the exhaust last night, and everything is perfect, but the clearance of the tips is where the occasional vibration is coming from. I tried to adjust the exhaust, but it appears that the tips need to be brought down about 1/4 of an inch to prevent this vibration. I believe the only way to adjust the exhaust hangers is to heat them, and slightly bent them so that I can adjust the tips. Has anyone else with a Magnaflow, or any exhaust had this problem?

 

Get some alum. strap,3/8x1 and cut to the length of the rubber hangers.Drill to match and install between hangers and floor. This should lower the exhaust just enough.

 

This problem is common, and easily solved. If you own an Oxy-Accetaline torch, you just heat the muffler hangers and move the tips where you want them. Since most people don't own a torch, just take it to a muffler shop and they will fix it in a few minutes.

 

Also adjusting the middle section up will move your tips down. Loosen all the connectors and see what you can do.

 

+1. Try positioning the the tips yourself by playing with the exhaust connections first. If all else fails, you can take it to a shop.
