just a generic exhaust hanger?
or a specific one?
and where does it need to go?

sounds good.PLEASE make us a sound clip if you could.i want to get the exact same system you have.good luck with it.keep us updated on how it goes together, and of course how it sounds

[articacid]

what i meant by the hanger is... well the old one bolts to a flat piece of metal welded to the exhaust pipe. you could make on by taking a flat piece of metal and bending it into an l and drilling a hole through one side. bolt that side to the car, then clamp the other side to the pipe.

[Alt space n]

I needed to fab a hanger right around the cat, so we welded one onto the car, the cat was rattling right below the passenger seat but thats the only hanger we had to fab up.

[articacid]

some good old pipe clamps from lowes for like a dollar a piece will fix that. thats what u used. the ones that have the screw you use to tighten it.

OK
got it on about 2 weeks ago
COMPLETELY painless
I am extremely happy with my overall experience with all the companies I bought from and the muffler shop.
I went to Doug's Muffler in Mt Clemmons and I HGIHLY reccomend them to anyone in this area (thanks to Tim for referring me there first)
$120 for the full install. They has to cut and bend the pipes to make them fit a little better, alot of work. THEN I was going to tell them to tie up my o2 sensor, but before I got a chance, they drilled and welded a bung in and installed it for me!
unbelievable service and quality work
exhaust is ROCK solid; welded the entire thing
they do awesome work
and CHEAP too
I think I am going to write them a letter and thank them for the awesome job
NOW
onto the sound :cool:
it sounds very good... uner 3,500 rpms with a load and 2,500 in park or neutral. After that, same rasp... but WAY louder
it is LOUD
loud
so yes

Also all you can hear is the exhaust, you cant hear the motor when you rev it, great for the track but 3 inch is **** on the street. ive got two bosal mufflers on the back and it quieted it down quite a bit, my next idea is to put a borla xr1 bullet muffler in place of the resonator

that describes it best
my back window rattles like a nut
we took a 3 hr trip in it
wow
its loud
lol
it would be cool if it sounded good over 3,500 but it's just raspy
I am pretty happy with it, but I need to get a muffler on it to quiet it down
I may make another post asking what has been done to tone it down so its not so extreme
its not a race car lol, I have never even ran it at the track, but it sure sounds like I am hardcore
I'll try and get some sound clips, but in the meantime, if any of you have this or a similar exhaust and have it sound manageable let me know what u did
thanks!
btw you guys were awesome with helping me through this, I had no clue what to do, and now I have had some good hands on experience
thanks again

sound clip sound clip sound clip please!!!!

[articacid]

congrats man glad to see you got it all together. i like it loud lol. my change in the cup holder rattles.

thats not the bad part, i got 2 12's and 900 watts rms. that will shake some stuff and make rattles but if you take you time you can fix it. i dont hvae anymore rattle now.

if you get some sound deadener and line the hatch it will help with the drone. you only need like 50 sq ft. makes a decent differnce.
