WHY DOES MY EXHAUST HIT SPEED BUMPS?

< All Topics

If your exhaust hits speed bumps, there could be a few reasons why this is happening:

Exhaust System Hangs Too Low: One possibility is that your exhaust system is hanging too low and is not high enough to clear the speed bumps. Over time, the rubber hangers that support the exhaust system may wear out or become damaged, causing the exhaust to drop lower than it should. This can result in the exhaust hitting the speed bumps, damaging the system.

Most exhaust companies do not have the right products to build a system tucked up high enough. Profusion Exhausts supplies the most elevated quality exhaust parts and can build exhaust systems to provide maximum clearance.

Suspension System Issues: Another possibility is that there may be issues with your vehicle’s suspension system. If the suspension is lowered, worn or damaged, it can cause the car to sag, making the exhaust system lower to the ground than it should be. This can cause the exhaust to hit speed bumps and other obstacles on the road.

Incorrect Exhaust System Installation: Your exhaust system may have been installed incorrectly. If the exhaust system is not adequately aligned, it can hang too low and hit speed bumps. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that the exhaust system is installed by Profusion Customs, who knows how to properly align and support the system.

If you’re experiencing this issue, having your exhaust system inspected by our exhaust technician is essential. He can identify the cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs to prevent further damage to your exhaust system.
