no surprise here...after i did the eibachs and bilstens, teh car is low. I scrape the exhaust on everything. any suggestions to tuck it up higher? or am i pretty much S.O.L.?

 

Don't think there is much you can do on an old exhaust. You could try loosening all the clamps and jacking up the part that scrapes. But it will probably rebound back to where it was.

 

i will try.

who has a good header/y-pipe kit that has good clearance?

 

Is it the headers that scrape?

 

no, it is the y-pipe...the part right under the drivers seat. i dont have headers yet...just the slp y.

 

If you have a welder, you can try shortening the exhaust manifold connection pipes(of the "Y") buy cutting the ends off and welding new ones on.

 

no welder. im just gonna do what i can. if it falls off, itle be a good excuse for headers.

any recamednations for good headers that dont sag?

 

The Pacesetters tuck up very nicely.

 

I did the same thing. I think we're sol bro... I'm having the same issues. I've heard that true duals tuck up pretty well. I've also got the SLP lt's... :rolleyes. I scrape my cats on everything.

 

yea. sol. i cant even drive over a speed bump.

 

i have the opposite problem...

when i press the gas with any amount of force my ypipe vibrates up against the bottom of the car because of extremely little clearance...

without welding or bending anyone know of a solution? ideally i would like to find some material (basically a padding) that can withstand the heat of being wrapped around exhaust tubing

any input appreceiated

 

I use an asbestos substitute against the pipe with a piece of high temp heater hose on top of that, held together with a band clamp.

 

i had that issue. when i hit the gas, or shifted hard the y-pipe banged the underside of the car. so i have/had both problems. I fixed the banging, but the car is so low it still scrapes. but here you go, check this out. Go to thunderracing.com and do a search for a LS1 bump stop hanger. actually, just go here:

I used the bolts from the Trans-mount cross brace to bolt it to the car, but you can also weld it (welding would be ideal). It works GREAT!

best of luck to ya!
