Exhaust is loose...

The back end of my exhuast is loose. It bangs around and sounds like ****. How should I go about fixing it? Is there nuts there that can just be tightened?

does your exhaust leak? its either your flange is rusted through and the muffler is dangling on the hangers or its one or more of your rubber hangers that have ripped or gone soft

Well....

Put some hose clamps around the rubber hangers & tighten them up. Simple to do & works like a charm.

you could also use a ziptie and wrap around the hanger over the rounded side

Yeah I havent had a chance to get under there and examine it closley yet...but i'm acutally hesitant to drive the car becuase im afraid it acutally might fall off if I hit a bump or something like that. Im sure zip ties will get the job done lol.

Yeah Ive had that problem too and it seems our exhaust assembly is a two piece so I ended up ordering the part to just replace it with a new muffler welded on.
