    Axle Clearance

    I got the Rumbler installed a couple weeks ago and all i have to say is that this is the best sounding exhaust i have ever heard on a v6 but i have one problem....
    I had Midas install it and they could not get it to fit right over the axle

    The pipe is literaly about 2 centimeters from the axle and when i got over a bump it hits it..

    I tried taking it to Midas to get fixed but they wouldn't then i tried to put a big dent in it but i cant

    What do u suggest i do??

          first mistake: you took it to midas,
          second mistake: you tried to have them fix it. it took midas 45 minutes to figure out how to put my serpentine belt on(before I knew how to work on cars) it takes me a few minutes. after they quoted me $450 to change my alternator, i told them to fly a kite.

          i think you said they installed it, go back and DEMAND that they fix it, or threaten them with a lawsuit. talk to their manager. if they do fix it watch them so they do it right and dont mess with your car. good luck man

            Most of the time it's a clearance issue with a heat shield on the top. If you bend the heat shield back a little, they should be able to adjust the rest to fit without rubbing the rear-end housing:) Oh the price we pay for great sounding/performing exhaust!

            Oh yea, and demand they make it right, any real exhaust shop can make it work, people even do it in their driveways at home.
