Fitting anniversary rear valance
« on: 08 March 2015, 18:00 »
I'm gonna be fitting the anniversary rear valance to my 2002 aum, I'm know the exhaust is gonna be hanging a lot lower the the cut out, I'm wondering if anyone else has has had the same problem and what did you do to raise the exhaust to fit nicely in the cut out, cheers

You could try some shorter exhaust hangers or failing that cable tie the existing hanger around the voided bit to bring the exhaust up.

Good idea, I'll have a look at doing that, just don't want the exhaust hitting the floor pan where it goes over the axel

I wouldn't use cable ties, you can get poly exhaust mounts which are much stiffer, you can also get what look like metal adjustable hangars too
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Sorry to jump in but where can you get these poly exhaust mounts?
My miltek is knocking on something when I go over road bumps and just rough roads, I think the mounts have had it.

Any help appreciated
