Hi anyone has good experience improving the exhaust pipe to ground clearance. Mine has hit the kerb couple of times.
Worst time had to go back to nissan to fix.
not sure if my sport hatchback unique or do all of you have to be extra careful reversing?
-
I thought it's the hook that has lower ground clearance? Most of the time I'm scratching the hook and never my exhaust pipe. Your load also affects the ground clearance. Maybe too much weight at the back?
-
Hmm i guess I do need to fix this exhaust pipe. My exhaust is actually the nearest item to the ground ;-(
weird, my load is usually nothing except baby stroller & baby sometimes....
any one changed their exhaust?,,any recommendations?
-
Yea bro..urs abit weird bout the exhaust,coz mine is the hook being the closest to the ground,anyways..u can modified it to make it higher.. :thumbsup:
-
bro, normally the hook should be lower than the pipe...maybe your pipe got pull went kena kurb...better fix it man dunno got any danger or not....let us know soon ok? :thumbsup:

Me going to TCM Bukit timah Sat morning.
Managed to get appt to see Svc mgr there.
Me have 2 issues with car
1. pull to left during drving/cruising
2. very low exhaust
I have a couple of Latios in my car-park..no sports version but managed to "inspect" some
Most exhaust same or slightly lower than the hook...anyway Latio cars mostly exhaust dam low....guess that explains quiet a few vies on this thread...
Will share my experience on sat..if i go(already dreading spending couple of hours at workshop :-( on a sat)
any bros have had this problem effectively solved pls share!! thanks

mine is a sedan, also hit exhaust. when seat 2 adult, its very low be careful, i spend $400 to replace the exhaust before

i suspect the easiness at which our ride sinks down when there is weight at rear, is due to our soft springs (rear)..
was thinking is there any aftermarket springs available to make our latio stiffer at the back, so that it wun sink down so easily ? is it posible to just change the rear springs.. ? i kenna a few times on my exhaust or hook too..
-
Look like i better be careful.. I didn't know about our spring is quite soft tho... :zipped:

you right bro...ours are sight softer than other ride thats why explain the smoothness during travelling....one tin to take note maybe would be changing your springs may affect your baby. as in other area may damage lor......may wana consider that as well lor... :thumbsup:..for my case just be careful during parking or going over humps when ferry ppl in my ride lor... :yehyeh:

ok.. but i dun understand wat can be damaged other than the tyres... since the spring to be changed are at the back, so i reckon there wun be much change in discomfort level...
