I was checking these out and thought they would make a nice addition to the exhaust i will be bolting up soon. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=20651-NISMO

I was thinking about getting 2 to hang up the muffler b/c its the prettiest part (GReddy ) and getting regular ones for the rest. Is it worth it or just a waste of money?

 

$15.. screw that!!!!!!! ive got good ones off of my 1991 SE.. they are in good condition.....ill give you all of them that you need for $15 shipped PM me or email me at vansskaterfreek@comcast.net

 

Why? Just use the old ones spray on some wd40 and they come right off.

 

When i take off the old exhaust i was just going to throw away old ones as they are 14 years old. i am going to buy new ones and i was just looking at my options.

 

unless there is visible wear I don't think you need to throw them away, regardless of age, I had mine off about a month ago and they felt and looked(almost looked) the same as the new ones my dad put on his S10.

 

Yeah, don't. Spend $30 buying beer, that will be a better investment. You can get regular rubber hangers which will have no problem holding up a lighter aftermarket exhaust for much cheaper than just one hanger.
If you care about pretty, just use some tire shine on the hangers.

 

If the Nismo ones are stiffer and prevent the exhaust system from wobbling around, then why not replace them? My stock hangers are OK, but the exhaust wiggles around a bit when driving on rough roads (not an image I care for).

 

guess you can say you have nismo parts on your car with those hangers

just reuse your old hangers.

 

the stock hangers have a open middle portion. over time the rubber will age and the open middle portion will stretch out and your exhaust will start to hang lower and rub and hit speed bumps and etc.

the nismo piece is a solid rubber so it won't open up like the stock ones will.

is it worth 15 bucks? you damn right it is when i have a 500 dollar exhaust system on the car (Greddy SP2).

buck...if you're going to get the hangers...do it right and get all of them...6 total (2 at the cat, 2 on the b-pipe, 2 on the muffler can)..because if you replace 2 it will create more strain on the other 3 on the car and they will sag/wear faster.

 

Search polyurethane exhaust hangers on ebay, i got enough for my whole exhaust system there. They work great, no more ghetto looking wobbly exhaust.
Dan's right btw.
I still scraped my SP2 a week after i got it though, too many people in the back. It's all good, i just call it "drift damage".

 

Thanks for the advice guys. But are all the hangers the same size? Nissan parts quoted me $6/each for the muffler, $8/each for ones by the b-pipe and $25 for one by the cat. I lost the diagram he gave me which is similar to the one in the FSM, except it has the part #'s next to each part. So the ones on the muffler would be part# 60751-A and another would be 60751-B. I don't want to buy a bunch of different nismo ones and only have a couple fit.

 

I got a few from autozone for a couple McChickens a piece.

 

as weird as this may sound..the hangers are shaped differently...but the distance (top and bottom hole) are the same or very close. major difference is the width of the actual rubber hanger.

 

the image i dont like is hauling *** down rough roads in a car you wanna spends 15 a pop on exhaust hangers.

 

I had the Nismo hangers on my 240. They are definately stiffer and hold it in place well but they raised the exhaust up some. So much so that the muffler was resting on the bottom of my bumper and it melted the paint there.

 

what kind of muffler on the 240? was it a kit or a weld on from a shop?

 

It was a Blitz NUR spec catback. Just the tip rested slightly on the bottom of the bumper and it melted where the contact was.
