yo i got a low exhaust.. it quite low like my IQ. anyway, is it better to go straight or on an angle???? i know for a fact if the cars lowered in order to not scrape the front

bumper bar you gotta go on an angle.. but in my case its an exhaust? you reckon straight or on an angle.

i seem to scrape on an angle =\

well it really depends........

first of all that the....Rakeish angle of the muffler you see from the rear...is in fact not designed for anti-scraping purpose but it helps guides exhaust gases in relevance to aerodynamics & air flow etc according to HKS.

it really doesnt matter if it is on an angle or not.......... All genuine aftermarket manufactures have thier exhausts pre-fabricated to suit... and obviously that angle is set to suit the model of car.

where as custom made exhaust from exhaust shops... you can get them to make any angle you want. as long as they can tack-it with the welder.....

alot of the times the last flange will scrape on a large bore exhaust on a lowered car.... theres really nothing you can do about it.

in my opinion ..the angle looks alot better than straight......

but it may not improve anything with a scraping.... all lowered cars are bound to scrape.....

yeah the weird thing is i scrape on an angle @ the same entrance @ maccas. but then i went straight into it and didnt scrape lol :S weird

if your talking about the "ANGLE" of the positioning of a car when moving onto a driveway or over a speed hump........ ( :banana: )

umm its a tough question dude...

it depends on how your car is set up...

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
