Low hanging exhaust

I've narrowed my exhaust choose to:

Circuit Sports dual tip 3"

Reinhard dual outlet

Buddy Club Spec II

RSR exmag

Do any of these exhaust hang unusally low? I was looking for a system that was designed tightly against the chassis.

the circuit sports is based around a more factory design, and usually sits up there pretty nicely.

now remember, that hangers can often play a major factor when you're exhaust hangs too long.

i have that exhaust on my s13. it is pretty low where the mid pipe meets the rear section.
my car isn't as low as alot of others here, and it is still very close to the ground.
other than that, it's a nice system. it even sounds pretty good too.

The Circuit Sports one and the RS*R ones hang REALLY low if your car is slammed. But then again, they make the most bearable sound out of your choices.

BC Spec 2 tucks up real nice and high as well as the Reinhard provided you get the non-resonated version. Both are just straight 3" pipes though with enlarged tips so keep that in mind.

^^ well that tells the OP nothing if you don't tell him the name of your exhaust.

I have Tein HE's set too the lowest possible w/ Greddy TI-c exhaust and it mostly scrapes the flange where the mid-section to exhaust section. But I also used bands the hangers to bring the exhaust up.

Becareful if you do this, I would advise using a downpipe w/ a flexible section. Or else it could put alot of stress and crack your header or downpipe.

My exhaust isn't in the four choices he's posted so information about my exhaust isn't important until he asks for it.

if your worried about the exhaust hanging low either buy urethane exhaust hangers....or

If you want a quick fix or just trying not to spend money on urethane exhaust hangers, get some worm gear hose clamps from your nearest auto parts store and wrap them around your existing hanger bushings and crank down on them. Done

I did this and I don't use the trasmission exhaust hanger. No more low exhaust.

I have a BC spec 2, it sits nice accept where the test pipe meets the rear section, thats the lowest point, but i just put hose clamps on my exhaust hanger bushing and tightened them up and it sits damn near even with the frame rails now, but for a while i was pissed cause it dragged on everything, but thats probably cause my car is just about on its ass haha

Ok, from gauging from responses the BC spec II hangs the highest.

I'm reading mixed responses about the RsR. Some say it's low others say it's high? Any confirmation on that?

I guess the circuit sports hangs the lowest. Getting poly mounts will be a must for either system I pick up.

Don't forget you can usually get the muffler of your choice separate and get it custom fitted.

You can raise the exhaust higher by simply using hose clamps.

$530 for a exhaust like that? Psch. No thanks. Not when you can make something to your own specs for around $200.

Both very good ideas, but I can't weld for shit. Plus the shops in my area can't do any better anyways, so bolt on is my best bet.

For those with hose clamps on your rubber hangers, does it shorten the life of the rubber mount by using hose clamps?

That's pretty sad if the people who are out there suck at doing their trade.

No, it doesn't shorten their life. It actually breathes new life into the old ones since after age they sag. So adding the hose clamp brings the exhaust back up to the body and keeps the exhaust in place; no wiggling like a floppy donkey dick.

Im having a hard time telling where you bolted that custom hanger, is it above the muffler? If so i would definatly be interested in buying one if you would make another since the hanger above mine rusted and broke of.

If you can't weld yourself how do you know what to judge?


Shops don't exist because they can't fix basic things.
