Muffler Hangers-Different Lengths

[tomshep]

I bought a Spintech side exhaust for my 95R so I don't have to worry about the pipes clearing the fuel cell. When I got the mufflers installed they are hanging way too low. I contacted Spintech and they said I have 96-98 hangers which are why the mufflers are too low. I think these hangers are correct for a 94-5 based on the part numbers and also comparing to an OEM exhaust I have for a 95. I thought they were all the same.

Can anyone shed some information on this? Please post pics of the hangers for 94-5 vs. 97-98 if you have anything.

These pics show how low they are. Spintech is saying they should be about 3" shorter. Unfortunately, they want me to ship them back on my dime for shortening of the hangers.

I've wanted one of those kits for my 98 for like 15 years. Never pulled the trigger though.

After taking the rubber hanger off, cut the hanger at the first 90, heat red hot where you want the new 90, bend, then heat the end of the rod and put a 45 on it, done.

If you do not want to use this option or the shipping, a muffler shop will do it in about 10 minutes.

good luck,

Yes, that's what I was planning on doing. I was just wondering if anyone knew the difference between the hangers they were talking about.

It looks like if you shorten the hanger it's going to cause problems with the fit of the pipe after the muffler. Looks like the muffler should maybe be angled up in the back to tuck it up towards the back seat pan which would require a angled flange at the front of the muffler.

I want to hear it!

A good Spintech employee or retailer should be helpful on their products.

good luck,

They make 4 hole adjustables that you can get on amazon. The adjustments are spec'd out as well.

Those might work for you.

Try the auto parts store for smaller rubber.

I had used these to make shock rubbers on a jeep.

I seen a few different choices in shape and length.

It's just a chuck of rubber.

If you found a larger chunk you can drill holes where you want

Or like the very rear mount on mine is just a rubber in a metal frame bracket where metal pin slides in horizontal
