CRAP i KEEP scraping my friggin exhaust piping.

[ranivus]

Yeah so my car is dropped 2 inches w/ my sprint springs. And my Tanabe stainless steel cat-back exhaust piping is 2.5 inches. i cant take any incline in excess of 15 degress or i end up scraping either the muffler or the exhaust piping. i've probably scraped the acutal muffler piece at least 3 times since i've got it.

What i was wondering is if i can Repair the scrapes on my muffler or exhaust? Is it possible? The scrapes arent that big, no bigger than a dime and they're just scrapes not dents (thank god).

a few scrapes arnt going to hurt anything and arnt in need of repair.. if its going to wear a hole in you piping your going to want to check it out.. a few scrapes is normal w/ exhaust and springs

Yeah i know i was just wondering if it can be done. im a perfectionist. i just spent 200 bux fixing a dent in my rim and curb damage cause i was stupid enough to let my gf take it ::DOH:: and whenever some homo in the mall or a grocery store think it'd be cool to slam into my door and dent it i go get it fixed for about 50 bux a pop.

i've probably spent about $600 in just scratches and dents :(






...wow thats pretty pitiful :(

i dunno about fixing it, but you could spray the piping with some paint so it wouldnt rust up.

take any speed bump or driveway slow as hell, and approach diagonally

[fishboy]

how about you just get over it. that's what happens when you lower a car and stick bigger piping underneath. especially with the ep. if it really bothers you that much just paint the midpipe black now or later when you sell it. but there is no point repairing anything now because you will just scrape again later.
