I saw that someone had a quick do it yourself solution to 1 exhaust tip being lower than the other.

I remember seeing the page, and it was specifically for our generatin of Grand Prix's. I've been under my car with several types of hose clamps and can't figure out how to finangle them in such a way to raise one like 1" inch or less.

Anybody else remember that site? That would seriously be great.

Thanks.

I removed the rubber hanger from the body mount and reinstalled the hanger using the center hole of the hanger for the body mount. It raised the tip up less than an inch, and that was what I needed to make them even.

You can also use a hose clamp and put it around the rubber hanger and adjust to your liking.
