Default people w/ megan drift spec

when you guys installed your exhaust was it too close to the passenger side of the back bumper? but yea if you did have this problem how did you fix it? w/o bending hangers possibly?

Mine doesn't...make sure it's all bolted up properly. Do you have the axle-back or the whole thing. I have the header back and don't have any problems.

Try adjusting the exhaust in the hangers. If that doesn't work, try bending the hangers some. Not to much. If you go German torque on it you might break the welds.

what you should do is readjust the bolts for the axleback portion, it may help to reposition it (it did for me). you should just take it off and redo that part by positioning it the way you want then putting the bolt son. it took me a few tries to fix it, here's mine, seated the way i want it to.

As crazy as it sounds, i installed the exhaust in my garage, and it was too close to the bumper, and i took it to my friends shop so he can take a look at it, and said that i had installed the sprins on the axle back side, wrong, make sure the springs are in the opposite dirrectioin than stock, after i did that, the exhaust fits perfect.

I am debating whether to settle with a megan exhaust or go with the agency power exhaust...why do you say megan is a pos? I want to be sure before I make a purchase, thanks.
