Is This The Wrong Exhaust?

The other day I picked up a few people and actually had people in the back of my skyline! lol, Usually I never have anyone in the back. I started to take off and then heard a loud banging sound coming from under the car. The sound was really loud and made the whole car shake! I had a look under my car on the weekend and it looks like the exhaust is against a bar under the car. Looks like the owner before me has put some rubber between the bars to stop them from banging. I was just wondering if the exhaust should be against this bar? It doesn’t look right to me? Is this the wrong exhaust for the R33?

Thanks :)

Oh ok, so you think the exhaust is hitting the ground and its not the other bar? That could be it.. but my car is standard height..hmm,

Its HKS Super Dragger exhaust, i would of thought no modification would be needed. To me it looks like the exhaust should be going around that bar, rather than been right up against it. Is it possible this is for a R32 or R34, or does everyone have there exhaust up against that bar?

I had a similar probelm with my car. All you need to do is go to an exhaust shop and they will weld a bracket to the exhaust and then bolt it to the chassis some where.

This will hold the exhaust in place (away from the bar) and stop the vibration

Thanks for that :) , seems like to fix this i will need to get an exhaust place to bend it or make up that bracket. But does anyone know why this has happened? Did the guy before me order the wrong exhaust, like for the wrong model skyline? Surely they all dont do this... My mate has an exhaust on his skyline and it doesnt even go near that bar, goes around it nicely...

Just was looking at the type of exhausts you can get, and for HKS you can get it for the R33 GTR or R33 Gts-t, so is it possible the guy before me got the GTR type? and thats why its not fitting 100%?

Not too sure there, I ordered a specific model exhaust to fit my car and i still had the same problem.

Remember not all cars are going to be exactly the same and the manufacture of the exhaust could be out by 1degree at the dump pipe which then magnifies towards the back of the vehicle.

Just my 2cents

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
