i need some help. i tried searching but i dont know what exactly im looking for. i have 18/235/40, inner fenders still in there. i took the the transmisson crossmember plate off today to put drill the holes out and use some allen socket bolts like dave showed in his how to, well my drill went out on me and i didnt get to finish so i decided to lay it down and see how much closer i was, well here we go.
its a 2.2 98 manual. after all the reading i didnt relize I was going to have any problems besides relocating the fender items, but i think i do
any help or links would be so kind

and you can see im still a bit from laying up front

 

[Myst]

my downpipe is doing the same ...could that be holding you up some?

 

[C-LEE]

i'm in the same boat is you bro...looks almost identical to mine

 

[gotUsic]

i assume this is the crossover pipe? i assume i will have take it to a muffler shop and get them to relocate it.
im not sure how much more i will go down with the fenders in but it is deffenitly layn that pipe flat

 

[gotUsic]

the 2.2 still has a crossover pipe in the same location as the y-pipe crossover.

i had to have a shop raise mine 3/4'' on my 94 2.2.

it hangs like 1/2'' lower than the frame.

found this

balljoints binding??

 

[gotUsic]

also to the left on the passengerside, i belive it is my cat. is also sitting right there also

 

[gotUsic]

balljoints binding??

what? im mainly curious about this crossover pipe

 

[KCBagged]

Just dump it quick and let it slam whatever is holding it up

 

[Myst]

let me ask ...is it just your drivers side holding you up ...or it both driver & pass. side?

 

[aircrewman]

ball joints binding?
tires hitting fender wells?
steering components hitting frame?
sway bar hitting frame?
You have drop spindles?

 

[gotUsic]

yes i have drop spindles, im touching the fenders, i guess i tittled the subject a bit broad. i knwo what i need to relocate still, but i didnt notice this pipe sitting on the ground.

 

[Myst]

let me ask ...is it just your drivers side holding you up ...or it both driver & pass. side?

??

 

[gotUsic]

let me ask ...is it just your drivers side holding you up ...or it both driver & pass. side?

the pipe is right in the middle behind the skid plate if you can see it in the first pic, but like i said, on the passenger side i belive it is my cat, not positive is close also if not laying, could not get a good pic

 

[gotUsic]

Just dump it quick and let it slam whatever is holding it up

man i live near the ghetto but im not ghetto
and eventhough the south is full of ********, im not one

 

[Myst]

yea but what I meant was ...the pipe does go a bit more towards the drivers side ...I ahve the same problem and my drivers side isnt laying but the pass side is ...I know it could be a few other problems but I was just wondering

 

[aircrewman]

I'm confused what are you asking then, how to relocate your y-pipe and cat or are you confused on why you aren't laying out? Just clarifying

 

[zaney444]

yeah man exhaust, tie rods hitting frame, tranny x-member (I will be producing replacements this summer), drag it once look for scrapes lol, that exhaust won't last too aweful long if your a dragger just get it replaced at custom exhaust shop 60-150$ usually. I wish I had a pic of mine its about 1/2"thick

 

[gotUsic]

yea but what I meant was ...the pipe does go a bit more towards the drivers side ...I ahve the same problem and my drivers side isnt laying but the pass side is ...I know it could be a few other problems but I was just wondering

no im about even, sitting on the fenders and i think the pipe is laying at the same time
