Exhaust banging on crossmember

HoneyBadger · 05-17-2011, 06:27 PM

I tried unbolting everything and trying it again, but no matter what one side kept hitting the crossmember. Ultimately I used a metal hose clamp to pull the pipe up a little higher with the hanger and it worked great. I read about it from another member here. The new exhaust sounds great (and isn't constantly banging on my crossmember).

Use washers to space cross member evenly on both sides. Had this prob with my ARK setup. Cross member is very thin you don't have to completely unbolt it. Very easy to fix

Will this interfere with the "play" in the exhaust to prevent cracking later on down the line or is it not an issue?
