Still trying to solve the mystery of what's causing my exhaust to hang so friggin' low. Aside from the crappy placement of the cats on my UPR X-pipe - just an inch forward would've made all the difference in the world, as they wouldn't be hitting the transmission crossmember - I've long suspected that it was just the length of the X-pipe that was causing it to hang so darned low. However, when looking at it straight-on from the front or back, I can see the system appears to be tilted ... and then, I noticed the oil pan is slightly angled down on the driver's side, too. My motor mounts appear to be wearing down on one side.
Comparing the convertible mounts to the hardtop mounts at my local parts house, I see the vert mounts are wayyyyy shorter. I also noticed that it appears the mounts currently in my car are, in fact, the verts. So I figure, if the vert mounts make the engine sit lower, will that, in turn, make the rest of the exhaust hang way down, too?
Anyone notice a change in ground clearance on their exhaust when swapping to/from convertible motor mounts?
I was considering a set of poly engine mounts up until I noticed that they look so much like the vert mounts, and if this is what's adding to my exhaust dragging on the street all the time, then I think I'll just stick with the crappy rubber pieces...
