Title: Latio sport exhaust pipe.
Post by: alghojo on April 05, 2009, 08:39:53 PM
Is the exhaust pipe too low? Many times already when reverse parking, the exhaust hit the tyre stopper. Any bros experience this?

I think we have the same problem, my worry is that the pipe might be damaged after taking so many hits. Any bros here increase the height of their ride before thru TCM?

Can just insert spring stifferner to increase height by about 1 finger to the rear. Ride comfort remains the same  :smile:

The car is not that long, right? Why do you have to reverse all the way in until the exhaust pipe scrap the kerb or whatever? :confused1:

I changed to better muffler stifferner as the stock ones are pretty soft thus causin the muffler & exhaust tip to hit or scrap kerbs.
Afterwhich my exhaust is able to clear most of the kerbs whenever i reverse park my sedan latio.

TCM won;t do for you.  You need to go erev.  cost abt $60
TCM will only replace your soft spring to hard spring. But the latio will look a bit high .
cheers

My Latio Sports also everytime knock onto the tyre stopper when reverse parking, up to a point that when I travel for 2km+, when during stopping at traffic lights, can hear rattling sound coming from rear of the car, exhaust area. :crycry:

Until 1 day cannot tahan anymore, went back to TCM and they say will be doing re-alignment of exhaust for me, damage is $35. :blink:

After that, no sound liao. :yehyeh:
