OK, two questions 1. anyone having problems with static? Every time I get out and touch the door, blammo I get zapped, my kids think it's hilarious, but it's ____in me off. 2. Anyone have their tailpipe not be centered in the bumper cut out? If so and you put a tip on, how did you get it straight? Thanks

 

well on the static part. you can get an anti static strap that connects to yer frame and then trails to the ground. for the tailpipe the only way to adjust it is to go to the connection between the center pipe and the rear section , loosen it and then tilt the muffler until it is straight. once straight tighten the connection back up. oh and the grounding straps are normally had for about 20 bucks.

 

yea if the anti-static strip doesnt work still take it to the dealer you may have some funky wiring in your box. my exhaust tip was a little off center too so i ended up just wiggling it a little bit and it went straight and has stayed like that so far

 

Haven't had the static problem in my xB,but whenever I am using my Wifes 02 Altima,you can actually see a blue spark when I shut the door I know make sure I shut the door by palming the window glass.

 

my moms 99 intrepid shocks like no other!! it annoys the ____ outta me lol . and it friggin hurts too

 

every time i shut the door you can see the blue spark. some days it hits so hard it hurts, i've dropped my cell phone number of times due to the shock

 

i've got two different kinds of ground straps for sale now. 10 dollars shipped. i have a multi color reflector type and a clear/white type. either way the reflectors can be removed.

 

Do you have the stock muffler on or the TRD muffler?

 

Only touch the door handle, not the door itself. If you get out without touching any metal you won't be shocked. Of course, now you'll be carrying the charge, so you'll still have to ground yourself before pumping gas or anything like that...

 

sadly enough stylis, i have the stock muffler
i added a square $7 O'Reillys tip until i can afford something real

 

buy a ground strap. i'm sellin for half the price of most ebay ones and ebay is always cheap.

 

My exhaust is off center. A bit to the right as you are looking at the back. I kick it back into place every so often, but it always makes its way back. I am having the exact same problem with static. Definately ____ing me off.

 

look at my first post for info on adjusting the exhaust.

 

I usually only have the static problem when it cools down. I just deal witth it and can't wait til it warms up again.

As far as the tip, definitely loosen the clamp, re-adjust the muffler, and then tighten it down. Careful though, if you have some miles on your xB the muffler gasket may need replacing. Its usually no more than $10 w/ tax from the dealership.
