Just got my car as low as it will go with Megan coilovers, and my Megan exhaust will not clear the Nitto rear lower brace, it actually crushed part of the rear muffler section when it was lowered off the jack:iono: I put the stock rear exhaust (muffler) back on and have no clearance issues, so the Megan exhaust is rendered useless as I do not want to raise my car up because I LOVE the way it looks and handles, anyone know of a rear section muffler that will clear the Nitto rear lower brace without issues, :confused:

could you modify the exhaust brackets (bend them) a little bit to raise the exhaust up just a little?

No pics yet, @ work now, the Nitto rear brace is the only thing causing this, if you dont have the brace, the Exhaust wont hit anything, tried to bend hangers and make it work, but it seems like I have to choose between the two, hmmm...:frown:

but seriously... that bar is not doing much back there if you think about it.

The choice should be obvious.

Could you get some longer bolts and some washers or spacers to lower the bar just a little?
