Exhaust Clearance/Mods
Exhaust Clearance/Mods
So how low does yours hang?
Have you done a lift but still find your exhaust hanging low? Or have you done some mods to get it higher? If so, what have you done?
Here's mine...muffler:
The exhaust place did a nice job lifting it out of the way
Bend under rear half shaft:
Middle section hanging low & exposed
I cant lift it any higher cos the driveshaft centre bearing is in the way

I have the same as you. rear section replaced and tucked up high but the mid section is hanging 2" lower than it used to.
I really dont think it is an issue. I would rather know im bottoming out by dragging my exhaust than ding up the underbody or rip out a center bearing.

You've only got to be worried when you can feel the seat you're sitting in movingvincentvega wrote:the girls were saying they could feel the floor pan lifting up under their feet
My custom exhaust bends up after the cat. From there it's quite different from stock to the point that if I removed the lift kit I'd need a new exhaust as it goes above the rear K frame rather than below it.
My resonator sits about the same as yours does, there's a matching imprint in the floor above it
