Excessive exhaust movement

808@702 · 05-27-2015, 03:10 PM

I had a guy tell me this weekend that he thought my exhaust was moving excessively when driving. Has anyone had issues with mounts failing, is a certain amount of movement normal? Please chime in...

Get under it and figure it out. It's pretty simple..

This. The Internet has ruined. People. It would've been easier to go out to the car and move the exhaust and check yourself versus posting here.

My exhaust is moving, better fucking google because anonymous people on the internet have better access to my exhaust than I do!

There's "Exhaust Shops" that work on this stuff too.

How about some more details on your exhaust. Is it stock or aftermarket?

When I changed mine the bracket behind the bumper cover was detached (unwelded) from the rear of the muffler which caused it to move more than usual as it was only attached by the rubber mounts on the sides of the muffler.

Exhaust moves around a lot? Cool. Go make sure all of the bolts are tight. It's literally the most logical and fast way to address the aforementioned problem. If he's not comfortable doing that, go to an Exhaust shop.
