factor99 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) I picked up my new 2011 FWD Edge last week. The exhaust seems low in the middle. I see why the front end is where it is, but it drops down after the first muffler and stays that level until it turns up the reach the rear mufflers. It is 3 inches under the body and 2 inches under the rear suspension cross member. My other cars (Japanese) have had the exhausts tucked up as high as they can. Is the large space normal for an Edge? Thanks Edited October 6, 2011 by factor99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatG Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) The might have kept it lower along the length of the car to reduce bends, therefore reducing resistance for tuning purposes. I haven't considered this and would have to look at my car when I have the chance. The exhaust as pictured looks okay, just low. Are you worried about having it bottom out? The ground clearance is fairly generous which would limit that possibility. EDIT: Also, just noticed you have a front wheel drive. The additional clearance might be designed to accommodate both FWD and AWD applications, although I might be wrong.

jst333 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I've noticed this same thing, the exhaust looks very low on some of the 2011's. Some look normal kind of tucked up to the frame. But then I see some that look like they are 5 inches from the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
