I bottomed out . Help! Coilovers and Wheel spacers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dhaliwal559 · 02-24-2016, 04:20 PM

Hi Camaro5, so today, after college, I decided to go to subway. As I was entering, the entrance seemed fairly average. I went in sideways anyway. Halfway through entering, I just hear the whole bottom of the car scraping, and somewhat gets stuck, so I give it gas and slides over. Now I look under the car, everything seems fine besides scraping on exhaust. Is it worth checking out? Did it give damage to my exhaust or any under body parts. I'm running coilovers with wheel spacers. And I'm pretty low. Especially the exhaust.

You can somewhat see the exit / entrance where it hit

On the off chance this isnt a troll post, take that to exhaust shop immediately and fix it.

NC_SS · 02-24-2016, 08:38 PM

Take it to a shop that works on exhausts to have it looked at

Otherwise, not going to lie OP that is one sick looking lowered Camaro. I usually don't care for it being too low, but I think that's the only one I've ever seen with stockers that looks really good and flushed

spadz93 · 02-24-2016, 09:52 PM

You're really not that much lower than mine is, looking at the pics. Except your exhaust seems to sit WAY lower than mine for whatever reason. I even have headers and a 3" system. Maybe you just caught bad luck with that entrance, but definitely have a shop check it out.

maddoggyusa · 02-24-2016, 10:12 PM

what is there to check out? get a mirror lay it on the ground and look at it. I BET THERE ARE SCRAPES THERE!!! holy shit

Homeless Man · 02-24-2016, 10:21 PM

Idk if it's the angle or what but that exhaust looks inches off the ground. How much is it lowered?

FunkedOut · 02-24-2016, 11:20 PM

what size spacers you have?
it does look good.

xc_SS/RS · 02-25-2016, 12:01 AM

Take it to a shop or loosen all of the clamps on the exhaust system and use a jack to push it up at the x pipe. Then tighten the clamps from the mufflers to the front of the car. Looks like the pipes are hanging a bit too low to me

Dhaliwal559 · 02-25-2016, 01:12 AM

I believe I'm lowered about 2.8 inches. And 20MM wheel spacers all the way around. And thanks guys. I'll take it to an exhaust shop. The exhaust is a pypes catback. According to the shop, it's supposed to hang like that.

prod · 02-25-2016, 11:39 AM

Umm, if the shop installed it like that, go to a different shop.
Pipes should be routed along the sides of the diff, not hang below it. And you can tell the hangers are bent. I would get new hangers welded to the bottom of the pipes to hold it up at the correct level.

Stitch · 02-25-2016, 12:03 PM

I have no idea why you could run a spacer that big all around, but I hope you got new studs too.

And don't use that shop anymore. I wouldn't let them hang curtains.
