Sagging Vanguard v2, new bushings?

Vince A. · 03-13-2012, 04:29 PM

Hey guys, i just got my Vanguard v2 system installed on my e92 but the left muffler is sagging downwards a little bit. I've been told its possibly my exhaust bushings being worn out but after searching online and on the forums i couldn't get any info on the topic. has anyone else had a similar issue and how did you fix it?

Get a blowtorch and break out the hammers! That's what I did anyway. Just have to bend the metal hanger that goes into the rubber mount bit by bit until it's all level.

does your left muffler weigh more then the other? I just picked up and exhaust and one muffler feels heavier then the other?

The picture wont prove that one muffler is heavier, I just picked up and RPI catback and haven't put it on yet but one muffler feels heavier and more dense then the other. I was trying to figure out if this common for our cars exhaust set ups?
