Mugen Dual Exhaust Not Even

playboymonk · 05-13-2007, 05:39 PM

Can anyone give me some advise? I installed the Mugen Exhaust on my 2006 S2k this past Thursday. Been driving it, and I'm happy with the sound. Not loud but louder than stock. Only problem I have is the dual exhaust is not coming out from the rear evenly. The left exhaust is about half an inch pushed back and and closer to the bumber then the right exhaust. I don't really know how to explan it, the dual exhaust is just hanging on the bottom crooked. Any ideas on what I can do to adjust the exhaust? My friend recommended taking the car to a muffler shop and have them bend the hanging brackets, which I do not want to do. I was thinking of taking off the rear wheels and try to adjust the rubber hangers.

I also notice from the factory the rubber hanger that holds up the resonator near the cat was never used. The rubber hanger is there but not used. i tried to use it for the mugen exhaust but the way the hook is weld on the mugen resonator the rubber hanger is too big to slide onto the hook. Do I even need to use this, when the factor didn't do it in the first place? i am thinking that the forgot.

Any ideas on my exhaust questions?

a tunner shop or urself with some friends..
if a shop did this for u u better go back thier or contact mugen because thier is either the mistake from tunner shop or the exhaust got damage during the shipping runnings...

Sounds like you either:
A. Need new hanger bushings.
B. Need to modify the hangers on the exhaust

Also, was it the AP2 Mugen exhaust? If I remember correctly, they make an AP1 and an AP2 version. I believe it's the hangers themselves that are different.

I did it myself. When I opened the box and look at the instructions (all in japanese) it said on the instructions F20C, so I figured it was for te AP1. Calling up Kingmotorsports and inquiring about this, they said the exhaust fits both AP1 and AP2. Driving the exhaust for a week, it is still uneven, however it doesn't look as bad, however I can still tell it's uneven. Any advise?

Only advice I have is to bend one of the hangers. Easiest way to do this is with an acetylene torch if you have access to one. Heat it up a little bit and bend it with a pair of pliers. Just make sure not to heat it up too much or bend it too fast.

how about taking off the rear tires and trying to adjust the rubber hangers?

also, the hanger on the rear resonator does hit on the stock rubber hanger. Do you guys use this rubber hanger for your aftermarket catback?
