Default Help! [HKS exhaust hanging low]

I recently just installed my hks exhaust & im not liking how low it hangs... Ive seen a couple users on here who have it tucked pretty nicely... I have no rear lip or diffuser to help so ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

try loosening up the bolts and rock the exhaust into position... and then tighten it up evenly throughout.

^^^ Just tried your idea and got it to raise about half an inch. Still got a little more room to go though, thanks for the input man.

On previous cars I just had new, custom hangers installed. But I've also used Zip-ties in a pinch too, and they worked.

Replace the stock hangers with custom hangers should help.

Zip ties will work for the time being. Good luck.

Sorry to jack thread

I have EVO3, the driver side hangs pretty good, but the passenger side is a little high compared to the driver, and after installing rear lip, the passenger side is pretty much touching (maybe like 2 mm gap)

Any idea on how to fix the passenger side to bring it lower?

So waiting for my custom hangers to get in... I got impatient & put the zip ties on... already had one of them snap on me so im curious as to the placement of other members, pictures would be great. Thank you.
