    Hello,

    Just wondering what people have done to fix a tail pipe that hangs lower than the other? I see it all the time so im assuming its a common thing.

    You can use a hose clamp and put it around the hanger to tighten it up

    previous owner had one muffler replaced on mine and it hung a little low. I put a block of wood on a jack and jacked it up right at the hanger. Bent the hanger just enough to even them out.

    Same here. I replaced all of my hangers and the passenger side still sat lower. I ended up using a hose clamp on it to level it out with the drivers side.

    Think I used about a 3" hose clamp, just one laying around the tool box.

    Do Your Tails Hang Low?
    Do They Rattle to and Fro?
    Can You fix them with a Tie?
    Can You Replace Them and Go?
    Can You Tape Them All Over Like a Ricer-Roni Roller?
    Do Your Tails Hang Low?
