Omega General Help / Ground clearance for exhaust replacement
« on: 18 May 2023, 10:28:17 »
I'm planning on replacing the cat-back exhaust on my F/L 2.5 estate - just something to get it through another couple of years, as it's still a great drive. If we're going to keep them on the road, it's a given that most of the jobs we have to do ourselves, at a tenth of the price quoted by the local tyre & exhaust place in the case of the exhaust.
No spring chicken, but I think I can still grovel around under the car for a day. Front end up on ramps with back end jacked and blocked to bring it level - say 18" ground clearance to the bottom of the sill.
Is it possible to get the middle sections over the axle - or will I need to go higher?
Has anyone done an exhaust in the street / driveway and know the minimum height the car needs to be?
