Exhausted

Jay Zone · 12-21-2009, 08:46 AM

Anyone notice that the drivers side exhaust pipe sticks out about a half inch further than the passenger side.

Why is this?

Or do I have an assembly issue?

Just checked mine, seems pretty even here.

That's not what I wanted to hear.

Guess I shouldn't worry about it. Most won't notice it. Probably won't cause any problems.

You've probably hit one tailpipe whilst reversing up against a curb or similar?!

Are you sure it's not your bumper cover adjusted in a half inch ?

Didn't think of that. The bumper fit is perfect along the sides and top. Underneath maybe the bumper is angled somehow but I dought it. Might post pics.

Or the left bumper cover side is in a quarter and the right is pulled out a quarter...
Then if you spread it further over bumper cover and exhaust pipe variations on both sides it would only be 1/8" each.

I'd leave it until it's time to replace the exhaust.... Or at least until summer... Assuming you make it thru the winter without incident! Up here, we don't take incident free winters for granted. We're lucky if we come into the spring in one piece let alone a little tweak here and there..
