As per title -

Is there an easy way to even up the heights of the exhaust pipes on a Chim?

I have noticed that one hangs lower than the other (hehe) and my OCD will not let it lie!

Thanks

Get her to slide under the car and check your rubber mountings on the silencer plate, may be your problem.

Thanks guys,

Do you have to take the silencer off to see the mountings?

The hanger can also affect the balance, just a case of getting the back up so you can get in and have a look.

Probably worth a quick look and then decide you want 3 new rubbers anyway, many cars have seen them way past their duty cycle wink

To clarify there are 6 rubbers, 3 top sections and 3 bottom pieces. Only a couple of quid each so worth replacing anyway if you've got the system off.

After replacing the rubbers mine was still wonky, I took it to my indie and he fixed it. I asked how and he said he put it up on the lift, pulled down on one side and pushed up on the other and bent them straight!
