Yeah, "adjusting" sometimes involves more than just lowering hangars and stuff. In my case, the tips had to come down a bit. I didn't want the tips to "point" down, so I insisted that the entire muffler be lowered so that it's level with the ground. That's why they had to custom bend a piece of pipe, as well as install new hangars. So, there can sometimes be little work involved in adjusting.

PS - Ryan, I saw your Pwo pieces today and they look awesome! The cutout in the valence looks like OEM dude. They were explaining how you wanted it relative to the picture (the cutout is more to the left) and it lines up nicely with the lines on the Pwo piece.

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

So a good way to get there would be deerfoot -> memorial east -> north on 28th?

I'll be going from school on 17th

if you're going to school on 17th ave (sw i assume), why not go up a street until 5th ave and 5th ave turns into memorial, then take memorial all the awy till 28th.

you go to western?

simon i see what you were saying yea that makes sense i was thinking at first you were referring to adjusting the exhaust tips like up or down an inch kinda thing

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

huh?? going somewhere else to get it adjusted? if i need to get mine done i expect them to do it for free or i would be a little pissed it only takes 10 minutes if that..

you're an idiot.

the rieger kit is about 3" further out compared to the stock valence, so the exhaust has to be extended to fit the new bumper

Simon - I don't think other places would charge you the $100 to adjust your exhaust. If they do, they're trying to rip you off. I paid $80 to get mine installed, and then like $45 to have it adjusted (that even included custom bending a piece of pipe and welding it in too)

yah $100 is steep, i got the exhaust installed today at concept-1, and they suggested goin toa minute muffler for a $50 re-adjustment

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

edit.. derick no its would be open if i was to cut it as is.. i checked some other pics i have of people who did it..

Ohh, OK that's what I was confused about. For a minute, I thought the Pwo piece was like solid material or something near the bottom

Well, either way you do it, it'll look sick. I might just have to take a peek at it when I pick up the car tomorrow.
