So my suspension is a little cramped and my exhaust vibrates against the sway bar. It's annoying as hell and sounds like ***. So I figured if I wrapped heat wrap around it and between the sway bar it would absorb the vibration. Well it worked like a charm...

why not go to an exaust shop and have them raise a hanger?
won't the rubbing between the two maybe loosen the heat wrap?

 

It's held on with metal clamps far from the area being rubbed, I don't think its going to come off.

 

wont rubbing between the 2 wear the wrap down?

 

goodness your car looks REALLY low...very creative though...

 

Yes it does look very low! The piping of the exhaust looks nice also. Good idea with the Heat wrap! Do you have a pic of the back of the car so we can see the exhaust and how low your car is?

 

What kind of rear sway bar do you have? And also what kind and size exhaust do you have?

 

Exhaust: HKS Sport


Anti-Sway Bar: Suspension Techniques


I'm only lowered on Neuspeed Sports thats only like a 1.5'' drop. I think the exhaust hangs sort of low. Maybe I will go pick up a shorter hanger and see if I can get even more space.

 

Oh yes and as for the rubbing the heat wrap is something that looks like burlap. The bar and wrap don't really rub, they just touch, hense the vibration.

 

the hanger above the control arm, on the frame, can be tapped with a hammer to bend it up---i did that, and got a tight new rubber hanger, and gained 1.5 inches. Just smack it or clamp on vise grips and bend it up---I'm rattle-free now.

 

Thanks for the info....It looks good
