Exhaust Hardware

Post by opus10583 »

First of all, really, what's the deal with $10 exhaust hanger brackets?

What sort of hardware is optimal for mounting:

1) The brackets to the resonator?

2) The hangers to the brackets?

3) The hangers to the chassis?

Unlike anyone who's ever touched this car before me, I'm thinking about the next-time service/repair.

...Too hot for nylock?

Thanks,
Mark

I have some extra rear muffler rubbers if you need them. You should add a mounting bracket behind the resonator due to the exhaust being heavy and needing more support there. :roll:

Thanks, bought it all, including the "extra" bracket.

Wondering about dissimilar metals, and the potential Nylock issue.

...Stainless or brass?
