Longer/Universal hangers. They can be found at almost any muffler shop (I got mine at a Tuffy Muffler for $5). I also think that you can get the ones with the metal ends at Autozone, and just snip the metal part off. It will look like a rectangular chunk of rubber with 4-5 holes in it.

EDIT: If you can't find them let me know, I have an extra set in the garage.

Is it already hitting? It is a very cheap fix.. I had mine adjusted at a shop for 20 bucks i think... took about 30 minutes including the line of cars...

I picked up some universal one's from autozone they should work well I have them cut to fit right, hopefully get them on tm


The piping is occasionally hitting the floorboard while idling should extending the hangers a bit fix this or will I need to go in search of some insulation?

My n1 hit when i first installed it, a muffler shop tig'd some universal hangers on for free. then again he's a buddy of mine..anyways he tried jarring the pipe a little but with a pry bar above the rear control arm just a half an inch, muffler doest touch nor does the tip...anywhere on my bumper.

^Hey Bryce, how's about posting something worthwhile for a change? Or is it that you have nothing worthwhile to offer so you spout off with this kind of BS? Anyways, welcome to the forum...good luck on your test tomorrow.

Ricki, I had a similar problem with my GReddy EvoII, so its not just an Apexi problem. The universal hangers will work though...and you won't need any insulation.
