After having the M Performance exhaust installed I noticed it was hanging a little low. It hangs about half to three quarters of an inch too low and a little off center. Actually the exact amount the stock exhaust hung on the car. As a temp fix I loosened the mount on the bottom of the car held the exhaust in place and then tightened it and then hose clamped the rubber mount to the height that looked clean and correct. It is now centered with about a half an inch surrounding the tips as the sit below the bumper.

My questions are what are the chances that if I replace the rubber mount with a new one it will pick it up a significant amount, and similarly has anyone had to adjust the height and used an aftermarket mount to replace the OEM one to correct the height with a shorter length rubber mount?

I am hoping that since the hangers are straight that this is an issue that has been dealt with without bending the metal.

Desired gap




Thanks in advance for any advice. Hoping to get the hose clamp off asap.

The more you torque the muffler side of the exhaust coupling, the higher the tips sit

I will look into this. I also have a left to right adjustment that I need to figure out. Thank you for the response.
