    Corsa B 1.4 Sport Exhaust hanging too low!!

    So, my problem from the picture will be pretty obvious. But short story is, I would like to know if you can get it nicely tucked away? which will also help with axle clearance.


    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe it's the car that's too low?
    If the pipe is clamped/flanged you may be able to loosen it or slot the flange holes to rotate it closer to the floor - NOTE, you need some sort of air gap, or shielding, to avoid overheating the floor area near the pipe - in extreme cases, the carput underfelt/soundproofing can actually start smouldering.

    Gordon is spot on, you could mod the hangers ect to raise the exhaust...but you will need to shield the heat exposed areas to avoid heat transfer into the cabin and any near by componants.

    Looks like im going to have to mod the hangers then!

    Would heat wrap around the exposed areas work? above and around the exhaust?
