Prevent Exhaust Flex: Use Quality Rubber Hangers and Bushings
Whether it's in the style of gaskets between the various tube sections, or the types of fasteners holding them together, exhaust system designers understand small parts make big differences. After all, they're the parts that prevent exotic tubes and costly cats from beating themselves into so many kilos of scrap metal.
Possibly the most understated of small parts, however, are the rubber brackets and hangers used to secure exhaust systems to the chassis. These heavy duty rubber and combination rubber and steel support hangers are responsible for preventing the exhaust system from sagging, or worse, dragging the ground. They're also critical parts of every vehicle's total performance package - and the difference they make can affect engine performance in ways that are impossible to predict.
