    Stock exhaust seems to hang a bit low

    10-03-2012 12:51 PM #1
    I remember seeing a thread on here in regards to the exhaust on the CC appearing to not exist out the rear at the straightest of angles..... unfortunately, I'm unable to find it.
    Looking at my 2013 I also feel that it could be "moved up" just a bit. Was wondering exactly how I'd have to go about this??

    I would guess different hangers or just take it to the mufler shop, they can figure smth out.

    I've only heard this with the OEM chrome exhaust tips. Each tip is mounted/clamped to the tailpipes with 3 screws (2 on bottom and 1 on top I believe). So if the top screws are in further than the bottom, it will point down a little and vice versa. Hope that helps.

    Thanx, After taking a second look at the rear I realized that the exhaust tips on the '13 models carry over less of that effect than previous years because of the updated bumper.

    Was like that on my '09 & '10 GTI's
    Not an issue on my '11 or '13 CC though, because I switched to the Borla cat-back

    Anwyays...to fix it, bend the exhaust hangers a little to pull it up

    BUT if you are running the stock cat-back....just bend the hangers to get it to tuck up
