Muffer for latio. Disappointed in TC svc

(1/7) > >>

dfnl:
Any latio sport owners here encounter the same problem as I do? Apparently I think there is a flaw in the design of latio exhaust muffer. I always scratch or knock onto the exhaust muffer whenever I reverse. The stock muffer seems to be very low and cannot clear the carpark kerbs. Recently I knock onto the muffer and part of the
exhaust piping in the middle of the car came off. Thus creating a very annoyng sound when the car is nationary or moving. 
When back TC argue with them in the end they charge me labour cost ($45) for straightening back the exhaust pipe. And I was still under warranty!! Bearing in mind the car was stock and it fails to clear the carpark
kerbs whenever I reverse.
I wonder those that lower their cars with coilovers/lowering spring even worst off when reverse?
I have been pondering to lower my car but nw I hesitate.

dsrio:
latio sedan also same lah, heard that spring stiffeners help, I lucky only kanna tow hook most of the time, now reverse always careful, especially with passengers behind.

crusty69:
same problem,.. had encountered twice ( had to tolerate the load clanking noise ) ,...went to TC then kena charged exorbitant prices.

from then on , i never park all the way in. Cant be help lah bro, unless change to those aftermarkert muffler, very slim ones.

Everince:
I change my muffler to a after market version after constant knocking of the kerb....it annoying when parking and had to park slightly outward....well, if your car under warranty.. then tahan till it end then change after market de..lolz :yehyeh:
