Installing exhaust AND Havng a hard time

[trainguy1989]

I have been installing a dynomax exhaust for the PAST week. I was under the impression that this was a day job. I have been having all sorts of problems with. Mike at ShoSource has been pretty helpful with a lot of it. I have one last problem that I cannot seem to fix. I have tried to many times to fix this problem with no success. The the right side muffler always hangs to low no matter what adjustments I do the the rest of the catback. It also looks like the tip is pointed down. I have assembled the cutback in two manners to see if I could fix the problem. Once building from the y-pipe to the back and once from the back to the y-pipe. The hangers are not worn out. I am close to pulling what hair I have out!! Does anyone have any advice? Do I just have a bad piece not bent right? Anyone have pics of the stock exhaust to see if I missed something. Its been siting in the yard and the neighbors are not too understanding so it disappeared yesterday.

Here is a pic of where I am at:



Thanks,
David

There have been prior posts about problems with matching the outlet height with this cat-back. Try a search. Personally, I would take it to a muffler shop, have those chrome tips cut off and turned down outlets welded on so they would be hidden like on my '92 , thus matching not a problem.

David,

I have the same issue on my 95 MTX which also has the Dynomax cat back. Mine is not nearly as bad as yours is though so I just left it be. Take your SHO to a mom and pop exhaust shop, show them the issue, and let the mechanic work for 30 minutes and you will have an aligned exhaust for under 75 bucks. :wave:

Mine never lined up properly...it was closer than yours but still at least 2 inches off. Frustrated me a ton too because there's nothing I could do about it, it's not like I assembled it wrong, the fit is just terrible from the factory. I ended up getting mine symmetrical, but they weren't anywhere near the cutouts in the bumper.

Glad to know I am not the only one with issues...
