hmm I think you need direct light from the ground level shining on them to really see , it's really hard to tell on yours. From the pic they look almost the same. I'm probably going to call Tony see what he thinks.

you can try and adjust the farthest rear hanger, i unscrewed it yesterday, there are 3 screws and you can adjust it a tiny bit, it might help.

That's what I will likely do, unscrew right rear hanger and add 1 or maybe 2 washers.

i have a small exhaust leak, i made my own gaskets out of cork, hope that isnt the issue, also had to buy my own hardware as the seller didnt give me any. I actually think the bolts i used are the issue and they are not 100% threaded and have a gap of unthreaded part of the bolt i think that section is to large and will not allow me to torque the bolts down properly. will find out soon when i decide to get back under her! lol (must get a creeper to save my back on concrete)

Use a cardboard box! works wonders for your back

Also call Tony, he will ship you the hardware maybe even for free (or a small fee).

erkthejerk73 · 04-14-2012, 12:25 PM

just found out the bolt is the issue, not 100% sure y i didnt think of that yesterday, but good news i found some bolts i never used for my ART pipes so those will work and then i found some 1/4 inch spacers from my old plenum spacer that will work on the other bolts that i have to use! fugging thinking outside le box!

Yeah I just used a thick card board box and it was pretty good for laying on...the problem with creepers is they rais you up (even the low profile ones) which means less room.
