Default tips are sagging

tips not ****.....
anyways, my SLP LM tips on the left side are sagging. i tried tightening up the clamp but it just keeps criping the pipe further and further, and im afraid its going to crush if i keep tightening it.

Get a welder to cut the clamp and pull it up further. I can't see an exhaust shop charging more than 20-40$ for that operation.

i got a welder. ill probably just get rid of the clamp and put a spot weld or two on it. my passenger side pipe seems to be hanging a little low too....im not sure why becuase its hanging on the hanger that is welded to the pipe itsself. i love my LM but im so fed up with the fitment issues. im getting headers and when spring rolls around im getting 1 chambers dumped and **** canning the SLP.

When I had my ory set up w/the random technology cat back, both sides would always sag after a while, I just had to give them a few taps upward with a rubber mallet till I got them where I wanted it.

I think all catbacks need to be spot welded or they'll slip.

I have the opposite problem. I have to wedge something between the passenger tip and body to keep it from burning.
