I put exhaust on my car and it was fine until 20 min ago. It looks like the part where the header connects to the other pipe is hanging really really low. Its almost about to touch the ground. I dont understand what happened. It just got like this. Could the motor have somehow torqued hard and broke one of those springs bolts or what. I can't even drive anywhere now. Its hanging so low that even the tinest bumps scrapes, and i dont want to tear the headers off my car. What do i do how did this happen!!!

it looks like the header is hanging ALOT lower than it should be, therefor its not connecting up to the other pipe well at all. What happened?? I was really high rpms in second gear and accidently let off the gas and my car shaked for a second, beacuse i was at high rpms, but it still drives fine.

have you looked at anyhting, like got under the car and looked, it could be as simple as the hanger feel out of the mount, something broke, the exhaust systme is the most simple part of a vehicle, it only blot on and hangs, no tricky ****

x2

its probably just a hanger that came loose, what kind of header do you have?

 

i have a stock header that came on the b16

mike

 

there is a piece on the header that has 2 holes on it, is that suppose to be bolted into something... how could the header get alot alot lower since yesterday, i dont understand what happened...

Mike

 

the exhaust manifold didnt get lower, its impossible if it still bolted to your block

 

no it looks like the header somehow got lower....it literly sits like an inch off the ground...something is wrong beacuse i know the header isnt suppose to sit that low...

 

go take apic of your engine bay, it may be you broke a motor mount

 

how would i tell if its broken.... i pushed down on the engine and nothing moved... it seems like its in there good...

Mike

 

well something moved/broke if you exhaust is hanging and everything is still bolted on

 

my 06 mustang GT &gt; your civic now

pics man pics

 

i got pics, trying to get the damn software working..

 

expletive dude ive had NOTHING but problem since i got this car... my car feels like it does a wheel hop when i start moving from a stop in first sometimes, and when u let off the gas at high rpms it jerks u around alot.... i dont know if this has any relation to my motor mounts.

Mike

 

Please take a picture so we can help you.

 

is yer car lowered on coilovers?? is it slammed, or set too low, like everyone said , needs pics to be more specific , easier to see than to say... to see what the problem

 

he's working on posting them, software issues.

A for effort to the ndouble0b

 

i know computers and i got the software working, pics up real soon. my **** used to be really low now it sits on h&r springs and tokico shocks. I just installed a new system and the 2 spring bolts dont seem to be connected to well. But i dont believe the problem lies in that. The header sits way way to close to the ground, and i know it shoudlnt sit that low. My car isnt slammed at all...not sure whats wrong..

Check the bolts that hold your primaries to your secondaries on the the header.....if that is all good then check your hangers on the exhaust pipe. Looks to me like the pipe is pulling down on the bolts that hold it you your header.


P.S. Please learn to resize your pics. You can get a free resizing prog from myspace.com

Edit: Isn't that flange behind the collector supposed to botl to something? That might also be yoru problem....and your spring bolts appear to be OK. If one was broken then your pipe would be hitting the ground.

 

that header is haning really really low, its scary

 

Then get outside and check over your bolts/hangers. LOL!!!!
