Apex World Sport Exhaust keeps rattling

My exhaust is right on my bumper, when I hit a rough road all I rear is that muffler hitting my bumper. Does any one else have this problem? What did you do to fix it? Thanks

You need to get that fixed ASAP. It's hitting the tow hook and the bumper.
I had the same exact problem. Since the WS is not made for the 97-99 models(assuming you have one), you will have to do some modifications on it to have it fit without problems.
1.Go to a muffler shop and have them bend the arms on the exhaust to have it centered. If you don't have this problem fixed ASAP you will have a BURNT BUMPER.
2. Remove the tow hook near to the exhaust. That will eliminate the bumping noise, I think 14mm is the size of the bolts.

JUST GET THE EXHAUST CENTERED FAST. More than two days riding uncentered and you will be able to smell burnt @ss when you get out of the car.

thanks, I have a 96' but its not hitting the tow hook, but I will take it to a muffler shop to have the hangers bent. Already burnt most of the bumper out.

you might want to change out the rubber hangers as well.

I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it anymore. ... but seriously, you might want to get new exhaust hangers and see if that takes care of your problem.
