Exhaust misaligned after DP change

///Philipp · 10-10-2016, 01:38 PM

I installed a Wagner catted DP last week.

Really nice quality, good sound and no error codes.

But the exhaust hangs slightly misaligned afterwards

Any good advice? I looked underneath but in the way the exhaust hangs I don't really see that I have options to adjust ?

Right after the muffler, towards the front of the car, do you have a clamp connection for both ends?

when I got mine done they weee halfway up the bumper and they didn't even notice so I mentioned it, and they loosened those screws pulled the tips to whatever position and then retightened

Only on the turbo end. It looks like this.

I had the same problem after installing my Wagner high flow cat. It didn't line up perfectly at the flange and now the driver side sits high and the passenger side sits low. It really annoys me but I haven't taken it in to cut the tips and reweld them in the correct place yet. It will be even more annoying come the day when I sell the car and need to reinstall the stock cat and they'll sit crooked again.

Take pictures of the install and send them to Wagner ... We sell a lot of Wagner DP and this is the first time i hear of this issue

I had the same issue, But mine was always sagging a bit on the right. Double check and make sure the install is lined up, then bend the little bars that hold the exhaust "rubber bands." Until it looks right

In what condition are your rubber exhaust hangars?

They are fine. Problem is that the exhaust hangs higher and further towards the engine in the left side.

The right side hangs naturally while the hanger is pressed together in the left side. It also shows on the left silencer.
