Adding a strap to keep sway under control greatly helps these situations where things are tight between the tank and the suspension.

That 2.5" is nearly too big. I don't know how the guys with the 3" system do it. I installed a Magnaflow straight-through muffler that gave me a little play at the joint and placed the rear exhaust hanger at just about the correct position which solved maybe 80% of the problem. For a little extra help, I tweaked the pipe at the horizontal 90-degree bend as it turns around the tank towards the back. I needed maybe 92-93 degrees; just a touch. Now, the only time I hear any interference noise from it is when I take a hard right turn and it bumps into the front left corner of the fuel tank. I'm not going to worry about it. > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stefan >> Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 11:28 AM >> To: Ed Nickl >> Cc: <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: SD> EXHAUST QUESTION FOR 87 Shelby Z >> >> Yep, around the rear axle and the gas tank.
