Mufflers using only one hanger...

[SpawnGT]

hey first off moderators if u think this belongs in exhaust I totally understand, its exhaust related but I was looking for a general concensus on this topic.

 

ok..does anyone have their mufflers whether aftermarket or stock only connected to the Y pipe and hnging on only one of the exhaust hangers?

 

I ask because my XO2 mufflers were ging to be installed back onto my XO2 Y pipe (i have stock mufflers on now) and well due to construction at my house someone bent one of the exaust hangers on my XO2 mufflers and trying to bend it back resulted in me breaking if off almost completely off. so basically any danger in this? its the hanger that is not closest to the exhaust tip but closer o the flange.

 

 

and one more question while im at it, anybody ever saw off the lil ball ends on the XO2 exhaust hangers because those lil balls are the hardest to push through the rubber exhaust hanger holes?

and im well aware and prepared for any sexual jokes that will be made with the question about shoving balls in small holes lol

Your muffler will rock around a bit missing a hanger. You should be fine cutting off the ends of the hanger, however I wouldn't because once there on I mean who cares.

I will leave the sawing balls to others

 

but I would fix the hanger - it would not be hard to do and you want the system to be properly supported.

When I push the exhaust hangers on the rubber mounts, I grease the hangers and it then slides thru the rubber mounts much easier.

not a bad idea devobuzz, thank you im gunna try that I think.

 

 

has anybody used any type of flange cover to ever close off one of the Y pipes? I found this ovalish piece of metal designed for 2.5 inch flanges and was gunna close one of the Y's till I get the other exhaust rewelded.
