Installed my BC exhaust last night and noticed it makes contact with the bottom of the car has anyone had this problem or know of a way to fix it?
It hit the car right between the first and second hangers .

one of the guys said he added a stick in one of the holes on the hanger and it solved the issue.

you can either stretch the stock hangers by tugging down on the piping, or buy new hangers that let the exhaust piping hang a bit lower. i was getting a rattle too with my A'pexi WS2; it was hitting the chassis in the dead center of the car, and also whatever metal is beneath the plastic shield near the rear of the car. this was after installing a race header; had no problems with the stock exhaust manifold setup.

yea i remember reading that fix you're talking about zeuce. they put a small PVC ring in the center of one of the hangers which caused it to flex out about 1/2" lower.

Well the exhaust is either uber close or even resting against the underside of the car will bending the hanger fix that or will there be more to fixing it then just that?
