[diab0lical]

my muffler i just installed is pinned right up against the bottom of my kit. is there any thing i can put in between so it wont burn the kit?

see if you can bend the hangers so it hangs a little lower, youll have to heat 'em with a torch, but you can do it, or easier yet, go to a chain auto store and see if they have rubber hanger bushings that are maybe 1/2"-3/4" longer than stock, that should do it too

Exactly. I had to do the same with my last EX. Worked like a charm :)

ditto, i had an 01 EX coupe and when i put my DC exhaust on it was a litte high(close to the bumper) and a little off center, so i just heated it and voila!

stick something inside the hangers... whatever you can find... it lowers it about half an inch...
as for me? i used jenga blocks :D :p
no joke..

the thread title reminded me of some redneck comedian.

*diabolical looks at exhaust tip quizically..decides to touch it*

i swear i thought this topic was gonna be about how the tip is hot and you werent sure if it was normal. i was gonna be like "well they do call it an internal COMBUSTION engine for a reason!" :D

i vote for bending the hangers.

i was envisioning an ep with an exhaust tip that was glowing red hot and the bumper was beginning to melt
