Need Help on Car

[Warborg]

If you can push it by hand that 'should' make it easier to fix(not always but most of the time).

I need to get my eyes checked. I read need help on gar, it wasn't until I read I have two exhausts on my car that I caught on. I'm 43 now and atleast it's my eyes that are going first.

Yes if can push it up by hand it just might be a loose clamp that you can tighten back up and problem fixed. A lot of times the exhaust stops a foot before the bumper and a tip is installed and where the tip meets the full exhaust system it is usaully just a clamp of some sort that can be tightened, take it to a friend and not a shop this could be an easy fix and very cheap.

LOL, I have bad eyes too ( 75 25 vision).

Looks like my car has rubber hangers. The rubber hangers are connected to the exhaust by a metal stick. I figure I just bend the metal stick inwards so that the distance is shorten and the exhaust gets lifted upwards.


Although it does make me feel better seeing that tons of the Milans on the dealership lot had the same problem, and it was always the passenger side exhaust that hanged lower.

take the hanger off and bend it and put it back on...

im thinking your hanger prolly broke or the rubber part broke...

OOOOORRRRRRR find a local shop and ask them if they car fix it...

None of the parts are broken, like I said I'm just gonna bend the stick. Also why do you end all your sentences with ... ?

The black rubber couplings on exhaust go out all the time. Might not look 'broken' but it's probably stretched. If you can't bend the metal hanger back enough, go to your local parts store and buy a new rubber hanger.

Gotch ya. How much do you think this is gonna cost to even it out at the muffler shop? $50? Could it be something that me and my dad could do? I've been reading up on it and seems like there is just alot of adjusting the hangers.

Perfectly easy to do phishy..Hell if you were closer I'd do it for you. The hanger may need to be replaced with a different style to even out both tips. The hangers are available at all auto parts stores ...

Looks like more of a hassle to replace the rubber part vs. just bending the metal hanger. The rubber part looks to be connected to the top by looping around a metal piece and that metal piece looks to be bolted down. The funny thing is I don't think there's anything wrong with the rubber part since I saw multiple Milans with the passenger exhaust lower than the driver side exhaust. So looks like the stock just came this way.

Thanks man I really appreciate the offer. I think I might just do the bending the hanger idea first. If that doesn't work out I'll just go and get a shorter rubber coupling. I'm in no rush to get this thing fix, waiting for the weather to warm up and the snow to melt then I'll fix it. This MI weather is killing me!!! Not to mention this is purely cosmetic, doesn't hurt performance or anything so I'll wait. O yeah I hope that endli is doing good. How big is he now, 10- 12"?
