View Full Version : Eisenmann Exhaust not aligned properly

Installed an Eisenmann exhaust a few weeks ago, the backbox is off centre though, one of the tips is touching the diffuser.

I then installed a Supersprint X Pipe last week and had a good look at the backbox. Couldn' get it aligned, tried bending the hangers slightly but it was no good.

Anyone any ideas how to tackle this? My OEM exhaust was like this too but didn't touch the diffuser due to the smaller tips. I put this down to a broken rubber mount but have replaced that with a new one and its still the same.

Pic attached. Any help appreciated ....

Dave check that the hangers are installed properly if they are installed with the wrong side outwards this can happen.

If they are on correct, and you are 100% that its correctly bolted up to the midpipe, then just bend the brackets on the exhaust slightly to get it sitting center.

Also Im not sure from the pics, but it looks like its slightly slanted, this can be easily fixed by loosening the bolts at the flanges that hold the exhaust to the midpipe, then holding the exhaust up as high as you can, and tightening the bolts on the flanges again.
