Magnaflow muffler + Rear Lip : Part 2
as I mentioned about last week, I was worried about my magnaflow muffler hitting my Honda Aero Rear Lip
well I went ahead and installed my Rear Lip
and low and behold
the muffler was hitting the Rera Lip and making too much "hitting and rumbling" noise

here is a picture of it


So how do I get the muffler to stop hitting the rear lip?

Take it to a muffler shop and have them lowered the muffler.

Most of the time they will make the hangers longer, so your muffler will be tilted down...

other times (good) muffler shops will cut it out and create a 2" extension pipe and horizontally lower it down.

Get it? No? oh well [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

edit: my pics...

Me too. Try this link
Try going to a muffler shop and getting longer rubber fasteners. Those rubber things that the muffler hangs from. That should put some distance between the tip and the bumper.

Do lip kits add depth to the body of the car? Because my magnaflow muffler doesn't hit my OEM rear bumper.
