Engine my TRD muffler question....

my TRD muffler question....

I posted this back in the vvti.net site and i got a few responses.... wat do u guys think about this. My trd muffler got installed in my 00 rolla by mineke but the muffler tip is way too low and they seated it right apaprently, they can't raise it any higher either they showed me that theresn't any more room. The tip scrapes on tips and bumps. Here's some pics...

U can see it in the second pic really well how the tip is really low.... Its really anoying when it scrapes. Got any advice?

cut a circular groove into your rear bumper for the muffler , bondo it smooth and have a body shop paint it,

but i'm not worried about that....... The muffler is too low..... i need to find a way to get it raised or something

according to the first pic the tip looks like it cant go up because of the bumper, correct?, if so u can cut the groove then the tip would be able to be raised!by mounting shorter hangers on the muffler, unless that actual muffler itself under the car is what cant be raised

actually thats a bad pic, the second shows the reason. The muffler can't go any higher actually because of the support stud right above the muffler.... But other cars don't have this problem....

i suspect this may have something to do with the bending of the muffler, the one in the pics above looks very slightly bent, perhaps yours is bent alot more, post a pic showing your bend, then we can see if thats it or rule that out

i can't show anymore pics because i don't have a digi cam my friend does and i got work almost everyday, so no time, i'm gonna take it to a shop and make them like look at it or heat it up and bend it sometin, but thats stainless steal though so idk wat good that might do....

maybe they can take off the conecting pipe between the muffler and tip and reweld another one on there bending it upwards, maybe?

That could work as long as i can keep that tip and have a sturdy and as big of a pipe... I want the tip to be as much from the bumper as that other car does because the others on cardomain have the same distance, like half an inch from the muffler to the bumper, i got like 3 or sometin

take it to a shop, labor for that should be under 100 bucks
