After dropping my ride, the stock hangers allow my exhaust to swing all over the place when on bumpy roads. How are you guys getting around this issue?

 

Try inserting a fuel hose into the space inside the rubber hanger and maybe 2 larger wire ties thru the hose to keep it there and stiffen it. And/Or you can go to a muffler shop and have them weld in another hanger just in front of the rear wheel. I had to do both of these because my SP muffler and 130mm tip is within 1/4" bumper cutout.

 

Thank you sir!

 

Theres poly ones that are made for Subaru, last time i checked i think they would fit.

 

Any links?

 

I had the same problem with my exhaust hanging too low. I just changed all of the hangers with new rubber hangers. They worked great. It was a B$$$h to get the one near the cat. I had to use my jack to lift up the pipe in order to hang it. The o2 sensor also digs in to some metal plates so I had to be careful not to jack up the pipe too much. As for the results, no more scratching of my pipes on speed bumps.

 

U should use hose clamps and clamp the rubber hangers so it won't let your exhaust swing everywhere.

 

That's what I did too

I just zip tied it for now. Let's see how that holds up.

 

Should be fine

 

auto zone sells rubber exhaust hangers that are really stiff and they're the same size as OEM.

 

How can you guys see your exhaust wiggle? Someone behind you tell you? I always laugh at the hondas w/ fart cans that wiggle, but if mine does that too then i feel like an idiot.

 

My greddy swings on bumpy roads and hits the hanger behind the cat and makes a Thump! noise . I hate that. The B pipe part of it hangs really low too.

 

Have you tried a local exhaust shop? I had my hangers custom made that way.

 

Made what way? How many did you add?

 

You can hear it shaking and you can move it by shaking it.

I know I've seen 'em for $7-8 though...

 

Thanks. Now that I know what to look for, I'll search for a better price.

 

i have the same thing with mine. swaying back and forth. it cant be cool ! im going to leave the play in it. (having a sarona rear bumper installed) then after the install im going to use some of these suggestions to stop the sway , which cant be cool !

 

This leads me to think that this is part of the issue with flex sections goin bad on y-pipes.

 

I bought a set. Waste of money. The diameter of the holes cast into the kartboy polyurethane insulators are too big. The exhaust moved around just as much as it with the rubber insulators. Best bet is to have your local muffler shop weld in a sturdy hanger on the pipe above the axle and/or have them heat and bend the existing hangers (down).

Here's a pic

 

I'll cancel my order then. I just need to fix the hangers around the resonator. I think one broke when I drove over some crap in the road at 90 mph. It sounded like metal or some other hard material when it hit.
