Exhaust hangers

    What is everyone using for exhaust/muffler hangers with their 2 1/2" systems?

    I picked these up from Performance Years at the spring nats in May. The pipe hanger for the rear frame works well, but the hanger for the Muffler/tail pipe area is giving me fits. The hangers don't really line up well and have a twist to them that makes it hard to line the pipes up properly. The tail pipes are from TA and they included clamps and rear frame mounts that are very similer to the PY mounts. I'm hoping to tuck the system as high as possible for the stealth/factory look. I looked at Marco's during the picnic, but with all the rain I was too much of a sissy to lay under his car and check everything out properly.

    Does anyone have a pic or 2 they could share of the area to give me an idea of how best to do this?

    Thanks for your time.

    edited for a little clarity.

    i used the ones that came with my 2.5" flowmaster system. they look just like stock, the muffler hangers look like the ones you posted. the tailpipe hangers have a small metal piece that bolts to the frame, a flex piece, and then a little piece of metal that goes under the tailpipe clamp.

    i'll see if i can't go snap a pic.

    dang, camera's out of batteries.

    my hangars actually look a tad different, upon inspection. they dip down in the middle where the clamp comes up through. yours look the same otherwise...i bolted the flex pieces to either side of the frame, first, and then once the muffler was bolted up, they settled and straighted out.

    Hangers

    My installer used a bolt-on hanger, a rubber strap with a 3/8" rod that hangs down. After the pipes were in place he zapped the rod to the pipe with the welder and cut off the extra.

    what are you guys with n25 bumpers using for clamps closest to the tips. i used a regular "u" clamp ,stuffing in a bunch of washers to line the tips in the openings. i know that can't be right, but it worked for me. thanks, ron:Dou:
