Exhaust Installation (DC Sports)
#28
Because of the play in the rubber hanger on the back of the DC exhaust, my pipe tends to slip to one side and has melted a small spot on the bumper. I'm working on a fix for that and will post it here.
The DC muffler has a very nice tone to it and looks great. Seat of the pants performance increase was observed after installing the (axleback) exhaust and a K&N Typhoon intake. My DC header will come next!

You'll need to replace the gasket and maybe the clamp that holds the muffler in order for the pipe to stop moving from side to side...and be sure its tight. I also found that when I added headers to my car that the whole pipe wanted to move out of place. I had to hold the whole exhuast up and reclamp the joints at both the header and tail back in order for the cat not to sag down and thus move the tail pipe into the plastic facia.

i ended up using the stock wheel jack to lift it up and then used two car jacks to life the car by the axle, and then places the wheel ramps on top, PITA!!!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get the DC Sports tip to align perfectly in the center of the hole in the bumper? Mine leans slightly towards the passenger side of the car. It doesnt quite touch (luckily). Should I unbolt it and turn it ever so slightly? And could it be that the gasket was stuck on the stock pipe? I didnt see one on my car... weird.

okay i know this is slightly different but i used this info to install my greddy evo 2 exhuast , same deal and just like everyone else i broke my gasket so i had to order a new one
cost is $ 10 .00 from the dealer , also suggest getting a longer rubber hanger so it will fit hand right.

okay so today my exhuast moves over to the left of the exhuast hole while driving and begins melting the rear spoiler. I stoped at a home depot and bought a couple Metal GEAR CLAMPS/BANDS then used the bracket right next to the exhuast to properly center it ,
now it doesnt budge a bit from center but i had to spend 2 hours repairing my bumper , and i just resprayed it last sunday
