Exhaust Hanger Is Rusted!
I have the stock/factory exhaust system on my car right now. One hanger for the Y-Pipe is totally rusted off. So right now I just have one hanger on one side of the Y-Pipe. The Stillen Y-Pipe I got today doesn't have any hangers welded on to it. What did you guys do about the hangers when you got your aftermarket Y-Pipes?

So, you think my best bet would be to install the Y-Pipe and then bring it to an exhaust shop so they can fabricate a hanger(s)?

I bought a brand new bracket from Nissan... cost me 50 bucks but at least its not a welded piece thats permanent now. It would have been nice if somebody told me I'd need a bunch of new brackets and hangers before I started the project though.

I thought all the y-pipes came with hangers welded on. Did you buy it used?

I believe this is the hanger bracket that he is talking about. It is a separate piece from the exhaust and utilizes the same bolts at the cat-y-pipe connection.
I purchased the CE y-pipe (no choice at the time) and I had to buy a new bracket because as you can see, my old was rusted to my old exhaust. So the bracket is used on both stock and aftermarket pipes.
