Default Injen Axleback

It just came in today. Sounds great. The install was fairly simple did it in like 30 mins. Only problem is it rubs against the ground effects i have installed. It's slightly melting the lip....Anyone know of something to put in between the exhaust and the body to stop this. The only other way I can think of is cutting the bumper which I don't want to do.

Anybody that wants one should go to Ken at Sparks TRD. There was a small problem with Injen not producing enough exhaust, and he informed me about it within 20 minutes of my order. Very nice service. He kept me updated every step of the way.

Hopefully pics will be up soon. I've got pics of the whole install , but damn 56k is to slow to upload them.

I have the Injen axleback and i have the exact same problem as you. Sounds great decent gains for an axleback, but the damn thing rubs on my oem ground effects kit. The only thing i can think of is to find a longer rubber holder than the stock one. If you notice you can squeeze the last rubber hanger closer to the back and the exhaust tip drops a quarter inch.

question:

Why is axle-back more popular than cat-back? I would think cat-back would yeild more power and thus would be more popular...

acasanova-yea have you found a longer rubber hanger. thats whats really needed just on the back . I was thinking that it might be possible to make something that would like push that back section of the exhaust down.... but i havent looked up there to see if there's anything to bolt it to.

A lot of people see it as a money thing as well. Axle backs look good too.

Me and my dad looked at and a found temp. solution.

If you take the rubber thingy off you can cut out that middle bar that goes across. That gives it a little bit more stretchability (new word lol). Then get out some wire and tie it REALLY tight around the middle where you cut out the middle peice. Also mine had moved off to the right some. If you look at the first bend right under the suspension theres a little loop you can tie some more wire to and wrap it around the pipe to move it over.

Yea I know this sounds really ghetto but its just a temporary solution. Im gonna get my dad to cut some new rubber hangers at his work.

But yea try that if you want it off the bumper till youfigure out something else.

well mine what i did for my custom axle back was that right next to the stock hanger is a whole were a nut and bolt can go, so i snaked the bolt from the top and attached the nut and then welded the hanger to the muffler and torched off the excess. hope this helps i wish i had a camera to show you guys

I helped do the dB reading and video and it was my first time in a tC w/ the axleback. I loved it! Makes me wish I had a Injen axleback equipped tC.

Thats a really good idea fish, i thought about doing that ever sinse i discovered you can squeeze the hanger and the exhaust drops a quarter inch, i was scared that i might affect the shock absorbent properties of the hangrr but you know what im gonna try your idea for now man thanks.

Has anyone had problems with this not sealing completely @ the factory pipe? I think that my factory bracket might be bent but I wanted to check here first.
