DIY: Level out your exhaust
12 Attachment(s)
Drivers side: Before
Attachment 34697 Passenger side: Before Unacceptable for my OCD :shakes head: Attachment 34698 Tools required: ratchet with 12mm socket and extension Attachment 34699 Unbolt hanger bracket that needs spacing so you can level out the tips Attachment 34700 Remove hanger bracket Attachment 34701 Take to your local steel fab shop, (if you have one) tell them you need a spacer made for however off your exhaust is. (mine was 1/4") I chose to use stainless steel bc it was a small piece and only cost me $30.00 to make, plus it was going to be under the car and exposed to the weather. You could use aluminum and powder coat it but would probably spend more doing so. if you have a weird measurement you may need to have multiple spacers of different thicknesses and stack them or do both sides to get just right. I guess in this sense I was lucky. Some people try to bend the hangers on the exhaust itself, but could end up with less then desirable results. The way the exhaust on the 370 is setup this seems the most logical way to correct it. No floor jack or removal of exhaust required. (smarter not harder right?) Attachment 34702 Took a couple hours to fab up,(picked up the next day) here is the result: Attachment 34703 It looks real good to me! Attachment 34704 Bolt the hanger bracket back up with the spacer inserted Attachment 34705 Drivers side: after Attachment 34706 Passenger side: after, much better Attachment 34707 Now I can sleep knowing my exhaust is not uneven :tup: Attachment 34708l |

Nice writeup... why not just use washers though instead? Brings your cost from $30 down to a few cents!

Looks like you have the Invidia Gemini CBE. My Gemini also hung lower on passenger side. Mine was evened with some washers on the driver side.

I like the plate setup. Good thing I can machine this myself. No cost.
