My apex'i n1 does not rub at all. Check to make sure that your hangers aren't hung up on something.

[edit] I think actually we used the acura legend hangers for our install...this was a long time ago...so I don't remember exactly but I have a feeling I'm correct. I dont know what would happen w/ the stock hangers.

you could adjust it so it wont rub against the bumper otherwise your gonna melt your rear bumper from the heat expeled from the exhaust...Friend of mine, his bumper melted and he wrapped some heat resist tape and no more problems!...

Talk to N1SPEC!!...he experienced it first hand and I'm sure he can give you some good pointers!..

Hope that helps!

you don't need new hangers or anything. look where the hangers are right now, there should be 2 sets, one higher one lower. just set it down on the lower one, mine rubbed when i first installed it and it did melt my bumper, i took a look underneath and saw that there were more than 1 set of hangers. just adjust it and itll be fine.

Sup Jason.. I love it.. Sounds good.. It was bit painful trying to install it cuz the bolts were hard as hell to get off.. but its not as loud as i thought it would be. But its still loud. The silencer sounds good also.. , just a little more aggressive than stock. Thanks Jason for selling it.


Thanks everyone i'll try changing the hangers position.

ok another problem.. I took the hangers off and it didn't help any. It seems that the muffler is set at that position. (right by the bumper). Even with the rubber hanger mounts off and the muffler just hanging there it seems that it won't hang any lower. If i move the rubber on the lower hanger it won't make a difference.

Do any of you know why the muffler isn't going any lower? And how do you make it hang lower then.

sorri if my post is confusing. I have no idea how to explain it in other words.

ok..your gonna need to loosen the bolts connecting the cannister at the b-pipe..
once you have have it in postion and hangers on..tighten it down again..hopefully this works..exhaust can be a pain in the ***....good luck
