scottieboi94 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've recently lowered the rear of my car more and now the exhaust hits the axle, anyone else had this problem? I thought getting a panhard rod would give it more clearance as i think it replaces the part the exhuast is hitting and it is a lot thinner and will give me other benefits also?

Gainzy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Try looking into smaller stiff rubbers for the backbox or even a shorter rubber for the centre section that would twist the back up slightly, a panhard rod is good for the rear as you can balance the wheels out, cusco, jam, rsr are worth getting, don't rate the whiteline one's I would advise buying some locktight as they are prone to work loose, it will be hitting that back beam I reckon.

scottieboi94 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Its when i go over speedbumps and stuff, im guessing as i go over it the beam raises and hits the exhaust? I think the exhaust rubbers are powerflex tbh as there yellow but not completely certain, i just know there yellow haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I reckon if you replace the centre section with a shorter rubber it may twist the exhaust enoughor just raise it up a little Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Most people would choose just to simply heatwrap the part of the exhaust that hits the beam.job do e, no more banging Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I happen to have some heatwrap for sale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes it does. Issue is it is common to lower a starlet + turbo exhausts have to be big to get rid of gases properly = exhaust banging Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Shorter center rubbers mate, it will twist it and give 10-15mm gap, heatwrapping it too will stop it if you still get banging going over bumps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
