ok on my civic i had the pipe ran custom ...and my exhaust is hitting the lower control arm ...when ever i hit a bump or anything..i did this b4 lowering my car i took it to the shop and they said they couldnt fix it...well can u give me any ideas

 

What car and what exhaust? Maybe all you need to d ois adjust the hangers a bit to give clearance.

 

there is no pep boy around (thank god) will autozone work?

btw its a 90 civic hatch std...and a maxspeed universal muffler

 

ok i will give pep boys that...but most of the other stuff

 

Take it back where you had it installed and make them fix it. That is ridiculous. The piping over the control arm has to go up and around to give clearance for the control arm. You only have a 1/4" clearance between the control arm and piping. You can't just run the pipe straight back. They should know better.

What car is that? Is the picture flipped? Exhaust come out the left or right side of the car?

Lowering shouldn't matter. You should still have full suspsension travel.

Looks like you asked them to run the exhaust in a manner that it wasn't suppose to run. The piping should come over the right control arm and the muffler should be under the wheel well. It looks like there isn't enough room to mount that muffler in there like that. And I can't remember if there is room to loop the pipe up on the left side like you can on the right. Did they tell you it wasn't a good idea? If so then I guess you're stuck.

well when i went there a year ago...we spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how we could mount the muffler so it would accually fit..but that tis what we came up with. now i look back and think its dumb.. but when i got it done the car was at stock level and there was plenty of room ...so i just made a mistake in asking for it that way..guess i gotta go look around ...maybe set my car up like someones exhaust on here... idk who but the guy who ran it right under is gas thank and had the exhaust on a angle...
