My buddy club spec II is literally touching the gas tank and sway bar on my s13--maximum ground clearance, but you don't have to tell anybody you ziptied your exhaust to your car
I hope to fucking god your joking!

Exhaust right up against gas tank?
Plastic Zipties holding a hot ass exhaust pipe?

Your car is lowered.
Deal with it.
Stop buying expensive exhaust.
Just get mufflers and have them change the actual pipe as it gets worn through.
Thats how i do it.
Bout every 6-10 months.
Its just part of the game.

You can't argue with results...

I'm full low on stance gr+ and I don't scrape anywhere except my driveway and other terrible places.

The zip ties stay on...heat of plastic melting is too high.

The heat of the pipe out by the gas tank has been cooled greatly to the point where gasoline will not ignite upon touching it.

My gas tank doesn't leak so there's no danger of igniting the gasoline, and if my exhaust were dragging low, a leaking gas tank would be a danger anyways.

It's been like this for almost 6 months now, and the only problems I've had were zip ties breaking... and all you gotta do is replace them.

Now I understand this kind of driveway quickfix isn't for everybody, all I'm saying is that I'm perfectly happy with hugging my exhaust up to the underbody of my car with black plastic zip ties.

I beg to differ This happend to a guy i knew in Okianwa at Nago

his rear end ran up on the mountain side a little bit when drifting and exhaust hanger punctured his gas tank then the exhaust ignighted the fuel causing this









Luckly he and the passenger made it out in time
