exhaust ideas

im to the point where i need to run the exhaust. i already have the idea of where it is going to run, my question is what have some of you used for hangers for the exhaust. im already limited on space especially where the muffler will be located but i need to support that somehow, post up some pics if possible..

well, stock uses those double hole rubber mounts. get a few of those from the junkyard and some 3/8" round bar. weld the roundbar as an arm on the tubing and another on the bottom of the floor or frame. you usually only need 4 or so mounts from one end to the other.

if having an overall shorter muffler would help, Seth just started making some low profile mufflers. 3" tall i believe.

i dont need the muffler already got a flowmaster

What I do with the exhaust, is go to Kragens and get a single "Muffler Hanger Kit". I got the kind that is a 1/2" flat strap with holes in it. I cut it into pieces so that ti only has 2 holes. I put a tab on the frame or floor board, and a tab on the exhaust, and bolt it together using the rubber strap. I think you get 3 or 4 out of the single $4 kit.

I think I get what your saying with this... do you have photos??

take 1/8 plate stock, cut a hole the size of your tubing, so the tubing will slide through it, and make the tab in kind of a P shape and drill a 3/8 hole on the leg of the P...then you can weld a tab off the frame and use high temp rubber or poly to isolate them from vibrations...and of course you weld the bracket to the tubing...works great. and there is no vertical room taken up.

Not really.

I have also used rubber pucks sandwiched between two tabs, which is what I did with the Nissan recently. I needed a little bit more rigid mount since there is so little room.

Mine that I did was really eigind, I used a higher durometer polyurethane, and 5 mounts, it wouldn't move more than a half inch...Oh I had a flexpipe in mine too at the headers to keep it from breaking when the motor torqued over
