I need Instructions on how to use hoseclamps to align an OBX-H

I have heard that some members have used hose clamps to fix the problem of the obx hanging really low...Can someone give me some detailed instructions on how to do this please? I just bought a type h and the sound is awesome, but the HUGE 4.5'' cannon hanging so far away from the bumper cutout and the b pipe only 6-8 inches off the ground in front of the Rear passenger tire annoy the **** out of me, despite how good the exhaust sounds! HELP
thanks in advance, Kyle

Hey Bud, it's realy simple. All you need to do is get a couple of 3" hose clamps. There are two rubber mounts that hold the muffler and one on the b-pipe. I clamped all three, but you may only need to worry about the two on the muffler. Just put the clamp around the rubber mount and tighten it. This will basically reduce the size of the mount and pull the muffler up towards the bumper.

check out the pics. This should give you a good idea of what to do. Please notice the rusty hose clamp. Get stainless steel clamps. You can see the right side one is not hoseclamped, causing the exhaust tip to sit to the left. that one broke. I gotta get under there and replace them. Hope this helps!
