whats up guys,



im lowered on the Tein Stechs and im having some scraping issues with my stock exhaust pipe, its the two pipes that stick out towards to the ground right near the muffler, is there anything i could replace these pipes with to make them straight instead of them curving down , and also what do you call these pipes?

thanks alot

 

Those pipes would be your mid-pipes. The reason why they're curved is to give clearance for the rear sway bar.

Nobody really makes a mid-pipe right now that would fit the stock exhaust. So pretty mcuh you two opitons is to get a mid-pipe custom made or get an afterket exhaust system that has a straighter mid-pipe.

 

^ thanks for the help, do you think the exhaust note would change if i get a custom mid-pipe? and how much $ i am seeing for a custom mid-pipe?

 

Actually, I was just thinking about it, and you might be able to pull off just getting the pipes adjusted a bit, i'm not too sure on that idea though.

You could call around and muffler shops around your area and get a quote. The piping shouldn't cost much, but i'm not too sure how long it would take them to fit your car. so most of the cost would be for labor as usual.

The exhaust note would most likely change if you get a new mid-pipe unless they can use the stock resonators some how.

Here's a pic of the stock exhaust:

What is the diameter of the stock midpipe? They look pretty big for stock.
