Try Good gone. Then dremel out the lip to clear the exhaust.

try getting your exhaust out on the right way instead of angled and you wont have that problem anymore. why is youe exhaust angled? is it angled like all those other people with apex N1 like kinda hanging low and angled up and to the left? or is it angled because the exhaust wasnt put on right? if its the first one why do u have it like that? whats the point?

i have that same exhaust on my 93 hatch and it fits perfectly not angled and comes straight out. why do peopele alwyas angle their mufflers like the apex n1 is it like the new thing or a style everyone has to do because it serves no purpose if anything it just adds one more bend to the piping for the exhaust to have to go through so if anything it would not help out except just look cool if people think it looks "cool"

sorry for the punctuation, didnt know i was being graded here. but i am still curious as to why people always angle their mufflers is it just a style or does it have form or function?

oh ... hahahaha, my bad. I didnt realize people actually did that, guess im out of the loop. I see your point though, just buying a muffler and intentionally making your piping extremely angled is ghey.

i was always told that having an angled muffler helped to expel the gases quicker.
