Ok a couple of months ago i got an injen catback exhaust and love it.. But the passanger side was a little shorter.. not a problem then but when i went back to get my test pipes and headers put on for some reason now the right side exhaust sits way to high under the car so when i drive it hits the bottom of my car.. So i was wondering if anyone has had this problem and how they fixed it. thank you
And i have megan resonated test pipes and strup headers. thanks for any help

It could be how you installed the headers. Maybe a little crooked? You can clock the position of the headers slightly so that it raises the rest of the exhaust up or down a little.

You might want to losen up the headers and let everything settle into a better position before tightening the headers back down.

Edited for spelling

All dual exhaust - two muffler systems have similar fitting situation because of the OEM rear anti-sway bar. The bar has a “hoop” on the drivers side. The drivers side exhaust must fit below the bar. The passenger side above the bar. As in the above photo you can see that the pre-muffler pipes are not even. Still the mufflers fit almost perfectly even.

a. Loosen the entire passenger side.
b. Put a wood shim between the body and pipe.
c. Tighten everything.
d. Pull out the wood shim.

True --Its an accumulative error ---what is insignificant at the engine mount flange becomes substantial at the Cat Flange and so on and so on down the line. Always best with FI systems and Exhaust systems to leave all loose until you position every thing

ok i did the whole wood thing.. loosend the right side.. put the peice of wood then tightned but it went right back to the way before. so i cut a small peice of wood and wedged it up there till i go to an exhaust shop to see what they can do.

Well at least you gave it a try. Best of luck on the fix.

do u have any rasp??? i have the non resonated strup test pipes and its pretty rough from 2800 rpm's till 4000 rpm's

And that's very normal for test pipes on most exhaust systems.

I just bought a top speed pro n1 exhuast and wondering if megan racing resonated test pipe's would sound better or help at all

please get back to me


i've heard that all test pipes are rasp but on my strup they sound the raspiest than all others ....like helix or fast intentions brand

Unless they are resonated, the test pipes are just pieces of pipe with flanges welded on. They rasp.

Resonated test pipes can have different reactions depending on what resonator is used and where it is located on the pipe. Resonators can change the sound.

I had my stock cats in and wanted more flow and more sound so i removed the resonator in the midpipe....bad idea......it was raspy only on cold starts for a few minutes then sounded fine and almost stock......then i got test pipes and still have no resonator in the midpipe and its pretty bad

but even on my new top speed exhuast its bad and that has a long resonator in it.......should i just try the megan resonated test pipes???

i've spend soo much money already and love my top speed exhuast and the sound but its a little harsh sometimes........if I plan on turboing it then the straight non resonated test pipes will help right??


will they sound better under pressure with more flow from the turbo???? and make less rasp???

My test pipes (strup) , Invidia, Titel, and Helix test pipes all look the same as this

and Megan Racing Resonated look like as most others look the same ICHIBA Stainless Steel Resonator Cat Pipe and labree resonated test pipes

i cant really tell if theres rasp because i hear the hitting of the exhaust.. so i aint sure if thats the rasp... but i love how it sounds tho.. besides the hitting of the exhaust

my car stock with stock mufflers and strup test pipes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX1HuUMTick

and this is now

with test pipes and top speed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivo9jZYzJ1M

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xg0HyV9g5A <--- what it sounded like with just test pipes and no resonator

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WimgveM01H4 <---- now with full exhuast and test pipes

guess i will just buy megan test pipes and see if it helps....anyone know if the resonated parts will last long on resonated test pipes? or should i just add more resonators in my exhaust

again i have stock headers, strup non resonated test pipes, ypipe and 3" topspeed exhaust that now sounds like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WimgveM01H4
