ATTN: Anybody with an Apexi World Sport

[VTEC_Civic97]

Hi, i just installed my world sport yesterday and when i was putting it on i noticed that it pretty much hangs like s**t lol, so i was wondering if anybody here has the same probelm with theirs, and if you do how did you fix it???

Help is greatly appreciated so thanks in advance

Had the same problem, never did anything about it.

tru...yea i'm in VA for school and the roads here suck so i'm real paranoid about it just scraping and like breaking or somethings else strange happening so i'm trying to get this taken care of

BUMP

elaborate "hangs like s**t".. does it hang too low? does it vibrate against something?

your answer would probably be new hangers.. they come in different lengths/sizes

 

[VTEC_Civic97]

sry...yes it hangs too low (the midpipe, especially around the resonator)

yeah i just put mine on last week...it does hang pretty damn low, but i havent scraped it yet. i dont really know what to do cause i dont feel like getting the piping all hacked up so ill probably just leave it like that...

My resonator hangs pretty low. Scrape all the time. Oh well.

I read a good trick,

Buy a metal coupler, like one you'd use to tighten your intake hose but smaller, you should find one that fits around the rubber hanger, then just tighten the screw and you can re-position your exhaust by playing around w/it.

I've never tried it but seems like a good fix.

yea so far i just scraped on a speed bump but with these rodes everyday i leave my house with a prayer lol

Do you have any pictures? I'm curious about how low we're talking about here...

 

[VTEC_Civic97]

nah not yet ill try and get some later i'm pretty busy with school right now (semester comin to a close fast lol)

 

[NFR_AP2]

you act like taking pics is a secret mission or something...

 

[VTEC_Civic97]

its not i just dont get back home till dark most days so i figure i'll wind up with crappy pics + i just want to go in the house lol

try the metal coupler, i used it on my exhuast

got any pics?

 

[hooked_on4]

just imagine a metal coupler over the rubber hanger bushing vertically

 

[4bangincivic]

well i would but my girlfriend dropped my f**king $500 camera..sorry man

 

[VTEC_Civic97]

ouch...another excuse for domestic violence...j/k that sucks though

My WS hangs in the mid section... and a little on my resonator... I beleive it does that because of the way the 96-00 civic mid section rubber holder is designed.

Unlike the 92-95 where they have TWO rubber holders to hold the midsection, we only have one awsome isnt it? lol

But yeah just coathanger it

 

[VTEC_Civic97]

yea that is def a prob with EK's but even my old ebay exhaust hung better than this
