Ok guys I already tried searching the forums but found nothing to really help....

Recently lowered my car with tein s-techs and got hotchkis sway bars...

I have the greddy sp2 axleback on my xB and just recently after a long 4 hour car drive that the exhaust has moved to the right about an inch where its almost touching the bumper. This has caused it to slightly burn the plastic, however it's not too noticeable. How can I move the exhaust back in place or somehow protect the bumper from getting worse?

Any helo would be great...

zip tie the hanger on the exhaust to a place on the car frame/body. that's the ghetto/easy fix. or you can try to realign the exhaust by loosening up some of the points and adjusting them when you tighten the bolts back up.

most exle backs seem to do this becuase their made to have that angled look, y i have no idea becuase how our bumpers and piping is layed out lol, but just do some of what evosky said.

Tried the zip tie idea and it seems to work....only problem is that the muffler slightly burned the plastic on the right side. It's not too noticeable but kinda bugs me....is there a heat shield available anywhere???

ebay look for carbon fiber heat shield for xb or something like thazt.

Try the Cool Tape 1-3/8" x 15", $17 retail and self-adhesive

Other thing you might want to try is loosen the connection from the axleback to the OE pipe then have a friend hold the tip where you want it then tighten the bolt back up that usally gets it all in place. I know it was mentioned...this is how it is done in the shop to get them in place Stylis taght me the trick...

i did that kinda, just by myself, i put the muffler between my knees and moved it while lookin in a mirror till it lined up, haha. no one was around to help lol.

Or just stuff some rags around it to hold it where you want it....just don't forget to take them out

It's going to burn, let it burn and stop thinking about it.

wow someone's mad at the world lol. i got mine adjusted and it never burnt, until i made my own system and it was a lil to long so i actually burnt the top of the cutout becuase it pushed it out and up lol. but 2 years and no burn before that
