Default Exhaust pissing me off

The damn clamp keeps coming off my ORY and headers and Its scraping. Its a hassle, I wanna get TSP true duals already, but my new TA that is body mounted will not allow TSPs X pipe design. Its all because my new Strano springs had the car sit lower so it scrpaed everywhere

the pacesetter LTs and ORY with the LM1 = hang too low and scrape ever since the car is lower.

wtf should I do, my new TA that isnt in yet wont allow a new X pipe and I need it fixed tomorrow.

should I just take it to an exhaust shop and have em re clamp the muffler? I think I should drop by pep boys and but my own clamp and do it myself?

Ugh Im frustrated. Goodnight!

Don't use the u bolt clamps. You shouldn't scrape at all, especially on stock height.

Make sure you use band clamps for the exhaust for better ground clearance. If you have to use the c clamps, make sure the bolt ends are sticking to the side for more clearance.

If you want true duals, why don't you send the new torque arm back and get one that will allow you to run duals. Otherwise take your exhaust to an exhaust shop that actually knows what they are doing.
