Sagging Exhaust Tips
 
I found a nice example that I'm looking for but the tips of the stock exhaust are hanging a little low and out of alignment. I'm not too familiar with the SN95's - is this normal? Is it easily fixed?

Thanks!

Sounds like whoever installed the exhaust didnt take their time or the exhaust just doesnt fit well. There are not much in the way of simple adjustments it probably requires some cutting and welding of the tailpipe hangers and some possible adjustments where the tailpipes connect to the mufflers.

It is the stock exhaust. Here's a picture...

It almost looks like they removed the exhaust for some reason and when reinstalling it missed the rubber hangers. There are mounts just in front of the gas tank and close to the tips. I would look around the tips first. I bet everything is there, they just got lazy. If it is just those then it is a 5-10 minute fix.

So you think that they're just not hung from the furthest rear hanger?

Should I avoid the car? As you can see, it's very clean and I want to keep it stock.

If everything on the car is perfect and stock the way you want it then I am not sure why a simple exhaust fix would hold you back. But, just crawl under there and make sure it is not a sign for any other damage. Or, tell the owner to fix it and you will buy it. :)

If I was looking for a car like this and the 'only' thing that was wrong with it was the exhaust tips then I would be silly not to buy it. It may not hurt to simply ask the owner why it is like that.

Did you run a carfax on it? Any accidents?

He said he never noticed until I mentioned it.

The Carfax is clean.

Did you try to move them around and see if they were loose?

How in the heck do you not notice that?

There are a number of photos in the gallery section that may be of help. Here's one of them...

And yes, the left side certainly looks low.

mine are aftermarket now and I've been struggling to align the left to the right. One is slightly lower than the other. Maybe it's a Mach thing LOL
