Muffler hanger Broken?

My muff is rattling on bumps and is obviously resting on the rear crossbeam... it's still connected, but my exhaust sounds like a civic with a 4.5" tip.... or lawnmower... or a hole is in there... whatever, doesn't sound stock, worried, ease my worries by telling me a hanger broke and they're 10 bucks or something, the sound is a resulting factor of it resting on the suspension beam..... please


piece [sic]

Why not inspect it and see what the actual issue is?

Just went thru the same problem - exhaust was starting to sound ricey even cruising on the freeway. Unfortunatley for me, not only was the hanger broken but the muffler also had a nice hole in it and had to be replaced. The muffler itself was pretty expensive (about $400 CDN) but the labour was not bad at all.

Someone is always selling an OEM muffler in the classifieds.

Yea mine did the same thing. First the resinator section was loose and clanking against the metal brackets around it. Got that fixed, but a month later the flange between the stock catback and B-Pipe rotted away. I replaced the stock catback with another one and it is fine now.
