Exclamation Exhaust question/Help

So I had the F-spert springs installed, but recently I took off my volks because my Fiance is driving my car "hers broke" and I dont want any crubage just got the stock 18" on right now, but I was driving behind her with my tacoma and every bump she went over with my car the exhaust shook alot like i mean almost touching the bumper inlet, has anyone seen this or experienced this, thank you for your time

Much Mahalo's

I think this is rather normal. It's basically dangling on the rubber hangers.

The same goes for my Tanabe... I was driving behind my wife and also noticed that the exhausts will rock when she hits a bump on the road.

If you're really concerned perhaps you can use some zip ties and strap on down on both sides to reduce the rocking.

Was there ever a recall for the exhaust hangers? I remember seeing early 2IS with bouncing exhausts all the time (easy to spot with the rough freeways/roads here). My wife's car doesn't do that and lately i haven't seen that to be a "usual" occurrence, makes me think there was some change done.

It's normal, but bothersome

Why not have her drive the Tacoma instead!

But back to your question...it's normal on most cars to have a little shake.

My friend was driving behind me recently after I installed the Tanabe and said the same thing. I haven't seen it myself but might look into switching out the hangers with the stiff exhaust hangers.

Hmm ... I dont think mine does that... Ive driven behind plenty of 2IS and haven't noticed that either...

Maybe you need new rubber hangers??
