i guess i should re-rub the area on the car again with rubbing alcohol to remove any of the VHM tape residue?

when u say double up at the top with the vhb tape, do you mean to put 2 strips side by side? or stack them ontop of each other to make them double the thickness?

sorry for the annoying questions.. just want to get it right =)

thanks for your quick response!

hehe thats knives car (i just pinched his pic to demonstrate where my issue is)
but i am getting the same exhaust so atleast i know i'll need to get the tips lowered a touch

Yea, you're going to want to remove as much of the VHB residue as you can. I'm guessing after a couple of days, the VHB tape will leave some residue. If that's the case, just use mineral spirits and heat up the area with a hairdryer. The cleaner you make the area, the better the new tape will take hold.

And yes, he means stack two layers of VHB tape ontop of each other. It will make for better contact and will most likely resolve the "sag" issue you have.
