So the roush exhaust on my car is slightly kff center and is touching the bumper. Im not sure if i should try to just push it back to the center. I dont want to damage anything on the car. It runs fine as it is, it just looks off because the tips are off center. Any ideas for re-centering it would be greatly appreciated! The attached pictures are of the left and right hangers. And how off it is.

The stock exhaust uses 3 mounts

The Roush exhaust uses 4.

Did you get the 4th mount and install it at the same time?

The 4th mount is located above/within the rear sub frame assembly.

It was on there when i got the car from the dealership. I figured it would be an easy job to just scoot it over abit. I havent been able to check under the car much more since i have no way to jack it up currently.

Take to exhaust shop and get them to re-align it ... that 5hit gotta be straight. Won't take long to fix.

Get two of the smallest hose clamp you can buy at a hardware store. Line it up and put the hose clamps on the outside of the exhaust hangers. What i did over a year ago to keep my Roush exhaust straight and it is still straight. You want it to be centered or it can melt the bumper.

I used u-bolts. Just on the rear hangers. I put them on both sides just to be sure lol. Forgot what size. Just get the smallest that'll fit on the hangers.

Could you show me how you have your attached? That sounds like a pretty easy fix. All i have right now are basic hand tools but i should be able to do it.

I knew my Roush exhaust was off center but I really didn't care. I did have to change it when I installed my hitch last month so what I did was add zip ties on the outside of the bushing on the hangers. It hasn't moved at all in the past 1 month. I was able to fit 4 zip ties on each side to make it straight.

I had to do something similar with my previous exhaust. I thought I took a picture of it, but can't find it on my phone. Here are some quick paint pictures to show you what they are talking about.

Put one of these:

Zip ties, or u bolts as suggested above will work too. Whatever you can find or have on hand. You shouldn't even need to jack the car up to add these. Of course, make sure the exhaust is straightened up first.

I have the same issue with my exhaust, it's stuck a little to the right. Does anyone have a picture of the zip ties/u bolts/ hose clamps on the hangars? For some reason I can't visualize how this works. I swear I become more dumb when school starts back up

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue, my MBRP is off just a smidgen (not touching). Like these hose-clamp/u-bolt ideas, will have to try.

Did you have the dealer install the exhaust?

Just to clarify what you mean by it was on there when I got the car from the dealer

 

[drunkenmunkey38]

The exhaust was on the car already when I bought it from the dealership.

Oh ok that makes more sense.

Well hopefully whoever installed the exhaust installed the 4th mount.

The biggest issue I have with my exhaust is the tips always seem to be crooked, depending on what angle I am looking at them with.

I'm picking up what your throwing down now

Does the exhaust have slip joints? One over the rear subframe?

 

[tpiechow]

That is where the 4th mount goes, within the rear subframe.

The stock exhaust does not use it but the Roush one does. That's why you have to buy a 4th mount when you install it.

 

[Baxter]

I'm just saying if there's a slip joint over the rear sub frame he could slide it in a little more (lol) and that would likely bring the exhaust tip closer to the drivers side

 

[DonLonghorns]

Would new exhaust hangers fix this issue? And where do you find those small u-bolts at?? Nothing on the internet looks nearly as small as those
