Do rubber exhaust hangers come in different sizes?

My catback now bangs on the rear beam. I think if I get different sized hangers I can fis this.

Can you get these in different sizes or any other tips to adjust the catback??

i believe there's only 1 size. you can try to use small hose clamps and clamp on the hose to adjust the position of the muffler. or you can also take it to the muffler shop and have it heatgun and adjust the position like that.

I just experienced a similiar problem when installing my frankencar B pipe last week. Part of my rear section was hitting the frame so I used hose clamps to adjust the rubber hangers and manupulate how the piping sits. I took the hose clamps, and put them vertically around the entire rubber hanger and tightened as needed compressing the rubber hanger and pulling the exhaust up and to the side. I know this might sound confusing and I cant really think of how to explain it better and I dont have any pics, I could get you some pics tomorrow maybe if you really need some but this will work. Sorry I couldnt help any more.

^ Hmm, thats a pretty good idea.. I gotta try that.. my muffler was off center by about half an inch, and I used some utility wire on one of the hangers to compensate, but its making noise.

Hangers do come in different sizes, both length and inner diameter. My cat-back was flopping around like a d!ck in a shirt-sleeve so I bought some Kartboy urethane hangers for a WRX. The inner diameter is too big, so now I've got some $35 urethane paperweights.

The hose clamp thing sounds like a good idea, I might try that.....once all this snow melts

Try your local muffler shop, they will have various sizes and you will be out of there in 15 min tops.

You do mean a Torch right?
A heat gun will get no where near hot enough to manipulate the hangers.
