My exhaust line is really low under the car. When I look from the side, you can see above the exhaust. The back is fine, front too. it's under the seats. Is there anyplace where I could be missing a bolt or where I could tie it?

And no Raz, I won't cut it! :wink:

Good advice there Steph. While you're at it, put some flammable material on the rag so if it doesn't light on fire on its own, it'll have some help... :roll:

And by piece of cloth - Dale really means you're probably missing a rubber hanger. If they are missing and your system is not fully welded, then things can rotate over time. If your exhaust was once tucked up neatly, then it will go back with a quick trip under the car to see what's missing or a visit to your local exhaust shop.

It's a OEM line installed in a dealer before I left for Alberta. It have a lifetime warranty. Should I wait until it breaks to get a new one?

Get a full 3" exhaust, with 3" downpipe :D You could wind up getting even better fuel economy!!

Wouldn't fixing it before it breaks make more sense?

The muffler is rusting and about to open, and both muffler AND installation was underwarranty. If it's falling, it's not because they install it correctly. But they won't change it until it fall apart... So, my seat will probably fall through the floor before they change it.
