I'd like to hang my muffler a little lower...

It seems the OEM rubber hangers on the Fit pull the muffler up a bit too high pulling the exhaust tip upwards too much for my tastes.

It also doesn't help that I have a J's Racing B pipe that sits lower to the ground than the stock B-Pipe.

Are there any hangers out there that are just a little bit "longer"? Maybe from another Honda model perhaps?

i would start by checking your local autoparts stores.

just take measurements of your stockers and see if they have anything
longer.

have you thought about getting the j's racing hangers? i havent seen much of them but from what i have heard they are way better than stock. im not sure if they are any longer but i know that they are a heck of a lot stiffer.

Doesn't matter if they're stiffer. I need slightly longer so that the tip is closer to the ground.

easy fix

just go to any muffler shop and tell them to heat the hangers on the muff. they can pull it down manually. i did that to mine and added a nice s2k tip. I still used the same oem canister

.... or do what everyone else does and apply pressure until it bends the hanger a little bit.
