Adjusting axle-back after install

phxbenk · 10-16-2015, 07:27 PM

I recently installed a Megan Axleback and the left side is sitting a bit lower than the right. Not crazy but enough for me to notice.
Is there any additional adjustment I am not seeing in the rear hangers?
I was able to move it around some with the connecting pipes loose but not enough.

Didn't have much time after install to mess with it but will play with it some this weekend before I decide to take to exhaust shop to adjust/bend to position.

You can loosen them connecting pipe clamps and knock one side in more. You can also drill one or both hangers for more height options. Try to brace or hold it where you want it and then tighten everything.

Played with it some more over the weekend, got it better but not by far.
Dropped into an exhuast shop I trust and have used before and they had it sitting right in about 25min.

That's why I don't make my money working on cars lol.
He readjusted the connecting pipes and heated/bent the right tip out some to align them both, then reconnected all hangers.
So while the Megan axle-back sounds great, and is a killer buy, you might need to consider some slight bending/adjustments after you get it, most likely due to settling after they pull it off the welding jig.
