Default injen SES exhaust installed

so i picked these exhausts up from a member here.
Everything went OK except for 3 things. The passenger side of H-pipe touches the chassis brace (?). Anyone else had this problem?

Also, is it normal for the passenger side muffler to hang lower than the driver's side?

i was missing a rubber hanger for the passenger side midpipe. Do stock ones come with 2 hangers for mid pipes?
thanks

I have the same exhaust. My H didn't touch the brace though. Was close... Just bend the metal hangers as needed, and use the OEM rubber hangers and you're set. shouldn't have any problems.

hmm.. the passenger side didn't have a hanger. well i gently moved the passenger mid pipe. It pretty firmly in placed. i think i can get away without a hanger there.

The h pipe touches the brace not too much but enough to make rattling noise.
Perhaps i could put something in between that won't melt because of the heat..

Yeah, it kinda sucks that there isn't a hanger there, but you'll be fine.

the other thing you can do, if you have it, there's a nameplate at the back of the H, that ties them the exhaust together back there. if you adjust the pipes so that the pass side isn't touching the brace, and crank down on that nameplate, it should help hold things up too.

Everything you stated is a common problem for Injen exhausts. Do a search and you'll find threads and solutions

Ah, that sucks... that would have helped to keep the H level.

Yeah, my pass muffler sat a little lower but I went to the hobby shop, and bent the hanger a little bit. problem solved.

the rattling sound from H sound touching the brace got louder lol
However the sound quiets down a lot once the car is warmed up.
Is there something that i can shove in between the brace and pipe?
Or i can...use a hammer to bend in the pipe haha.
