My exhaust keeps sagging!!

03_StangGuy · July 21st, 2008, 09:18 AM

I installed my prochamber 2 weeks ago and the exhaust keeps fallin and saggin. Is there anythin I can do to fix this? Does the orientation of the clamps make any difference? I have the bolts on the sides, I thought that would be best for ground clearance, but I have more clearance with a bolt on the bottom and the exhaust not sagged.

weld?

00vabchgt · July 21st, 2008, 09:25 AM

loosen the bolts, then use a jack to push the mid pipe up, then tighten the bolts. that should help...

03_StangGuy · July 21st, 2008, 09:28 AM

Id rather not weld it if i can help it, and I did use a jack to lift it up. It was nice and tight to the body about a finger and a halff worth of clearance.

Mine keeps sagging as well. It's annoying. I have to go back under and redo it every 2 weeks or so too. frustrating

How do you have your clamps position? I have mine so the bolts are on the sides of the pipe, I was thinkin movin them so one bolts is on bottom and one on top would help.

Can you bolt in an eye hook or small bracket and use a large hose clamp to tighten it up?

gray8188 · July 21st, 2008, 12:57 PM

something must not be right with the way it was installed..

Also possible, thats why I asked the orirentation of the clamps. Is there a certain way they should go?

Doc8224 · July 21st, 2008, 02:37 PM

are the nuts loose when you get under there to fix the sag?

03_StangGuy · July 21st, 2008, 02:43 PM

i didnt get under there yet but they look tight, right where i left em.

stanginit · July 21st, 2008, 03:38 PM

Your exhaust should not sag if you have exhaust hangers in the same locations as the stock.

hardhitter · July 21st, 2008, 04:24 PM

My prochamber also sags down lower that anything else on the car.

there werent any exhaust hangers on my stock mid-pipe.

mbmconstruction00 · July 21st, 2008, 04:58 PM

yeah it shouldnt be falling down...mines been good for years...if the bolts r somehow coming loose then throw some lock tite on them....loose bolts r the only thing i could think of that would be causing this...remember to snug each side up evenly n then torque it down then go for a drive n come back n retorque after everything has cooled

Cricket · July 21st, 2008, 05:05 PM

lock tite or stop nuts should do the trick with a washer or two on each bolt.

Yeah the mid-pipe does not have any hangers on it now that I think of it.

So I would go with what mbm said.
