Exhaust clank
Exhaust clank
I've got clamped-in resonators after the H pipe, and they have been sagging. The Overaxle pipe on the driver side has been hitting the panhard support brace and making an awful racket.
I just need to prop it up a little bit. I did some basic searching on aftermarket exhaust hangers and there seems to be a lot of different types and I'm not sure which type would work, and where to bolt it to.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? (I'll post pics later)

I got in there and used a jack to lift the pipe while I jiggled things around and got just enough clearance that it's not bumping the brace. I also saw that the muffler wasn't in the center rubber grommet of the rear hanger so it didn't have enough support so I fixed that while I was under there.
It's got enough wiggle room so I don't hear any more clanks in the quick test drive, but it still hits the panhard support if I kick that muffler tip.

No dice, the pipes settled back down to rest on the panhard bar. The outlet pipe on the resonator on that side has been crushed under the pressure of band clamp. If I get a lower panhard brace I feel like this thing is going to keep sinking until it hits that.
I might just take it in to an exhaust shop and see what they can do. For now though I'll try removing them and putting in some spare 2.5 pipe I have and see if that fixes the flexing.
