citka Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 How did you get the GT style mufflers on the XT without using a JDM bumper? Did you lower the exhaust hangers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 How did you get the GT style mufflers on the XT without using a JDM bumper? Did you lower the exhaust hangers? Ya all i did was buy 4 longer exhaust hangers for the mufflers and trimmed the bumper plastic on the bottom of the bumper just for added clearance. I went to the picknpull and got 4 exhaust hangers from a mid 90 jeeps and thy ended up working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Would you be able to take a picture from below the mufflers looking up so I could see your hanger and bumper mods?It looks great. I have a set of GT mufflers I may end up putting on my XT after seeing how sick yours looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm assuming you had to weld the new hangars on the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm assuming you had to weld the new hangars on the bumper. No. No welding was required. All i did was get the 4 rubber hangers for some 90s jeeps since they are faily long and the exhaust fit no problem. Perfect size. Ill get a pic of them up. There were no modifications to the exhaust or the actual hangers. Just replaced the stock rubber exhaust hangers with the jeep ones since it only cost about 8 bucks for it all.

OhBe1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If you're trimming the plastic, not sure you really need longer (rubber) hangers. 06LOB2.5i MT, JDMRSB, GYTTs, HPS, LGT Mufflers & Leather Wheel, SubiMomo Knob, Inalfa Moonroof, Clutch Switch Bypass, DeDRLd, DeChimed, & Straight Headrest.

OutbackXT05 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 I did try the regular hangers and i would have to hack at the front of the rear bumper and the actual bumper support to make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Have you noticed any sway in the exhaust system with the longer hangers, or did you do something to ensure it would remain in place?I ask because so many exhaust systems with long rubber hangers tend to move left to right.

OutbackXT05 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I havent noticed any sway in the exhaust but I havent seen it from outside the car. Everything fits nice and snug and the exhaust hanger on the mid Y pipe stiff has a short exhaust hanger. I can only move the mufflers like half an inch pushing pretty hard. Its probably because the rubber hangers are angled like \ / instead of | | so it holds it in place better. Heres the pics of the trimmed plastic under the bumper and the longer rubber hangers. I did trim more than I had too but it got the job done. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/exhausthanger2.jpg http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt307/fibtlcivic/exhausthanger.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Excellent, thanks for the photos. I may have to go this route with my XT using a spare set of COBB Mufflers I have laying around. Do you have much of an issue with dragging going in and out of parking lots? They look like they may hang down slightly lower than the same setup on a GT.

xt2005bonbon Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 dude, you should post a high quality sound bite of the exhaust at various rpms. I am curious to see how it sounds both from the outside and inside the cabin. You car looks good man. I like OBXT in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant really get a super good quality recording but i can just take a video with my camera. It takes pretty good audio when i do woofer/sound system videos for youtube. So it should pick up the exhaust pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
