cannonball Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Just curious. When Subaru says my car has 7.3" of clearance, I assume that means from the exhaust pipe since that is the lowest part hanging. The reason I ask is because my exhaust developed a cracked right at the weld of the enlongated bubble shaped thing (sorry don't know the term) half way to the rear. I had a muffler guy replace it, but it seems to me it's hanging a little low even before I got it fixed. It seems the pipe could fit a little closer to the shield but wasn't sure how close. Anyways how far should the exhaust hang down from the shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 what kind of shape are your exhaust HANGERS in? are they stretched? thus causing the exhaust to hang lower than it should? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Where are the approx location/s for the hangers? Looking under form the side there doesn't appear to be any in the mid section. I need to get up under there to inspect further.

Subie Gal Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 yep there will be one in the mid section. from the TOP of the exhaust tunnel coming DOWN to the exhaust. likely the hangers are getting tired and need replacing. this may help anyway!! other options would include having an exhaust stop add another hanger to assist in securing the exhaust up and out of the way hope this helps!!
