Does anyone know of a good local shop that can even out exhausts? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've already been to two shops who claim they can't do anything about it. One of my exhaust tips pokes out more than the other and im getting extremely frustrated. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

If you'll come by I'll give it a shot, the only thing I can think of is bending the hangers a little bit. The way that most of these exhausts are made, you can't change the way they are installed, its just how they are made, but I may be able to manipulate the hangers a little bit, I'm no sure but it's worth a shot.

I would have tried you your shop is far from me and gas ain't cheap right now. I got the muffler section even but once I tightened the v-band clamp it was uneven again. Idk maybe in the near future if i cant find a good exhaust shop ill burn the gas.

What exhaust is it? I would've guessed Nameless, but the you said 'V-band' so I'm leaning towards Perrin.

I've that the same problem with a couple of exhausts, you get it perfectly straight and when you tighten the V band or whatever rear clamp there is, it puts the exhaust at the angle it was manufactured at. I spent over an hour on my exhaust to get it right, and its still slightly off.

Darryljr11 · 02-20-2013, 10:48 PM

so i guess no one can really help me

With the way that exhaust is designed (single muffler dual), the best bet is to do what Brady said- bend the hangers. If that doesn't help, I'd consider it a manufacturer defect and I'd call ft86speedfactory to see what they can do for you.

Nothing is going to be perfect... I met numerous guys with aftermarket exhausts on this car, and maybe 1/4 of them have fitment issues. I bet nobody else notices but you lol.
