Exhaust hanging low..
I noticed that the hanger at the rear of the cat is missing. It scrapes at even a little dip. I'm thinking of going to the Mid America duals. Should I replace this with a factory bracket or "jury rig" it until I put in the duals?
Thanks :seeya

Jury rig. You'll probably have to scrap it if you go with duals so no need to waste money on a part. (assuming yours, like mine, is a stock 2" pipe and you'll be upgrading to 2.5") :cool:
good luck

Thanks terryrudy, that's what I thought. the Factory bracket won't straddle both pipes of the dual setup. I'll probably take some scrap thin sheet metal and make one :seeya

Agree that it's best to make one, and not pop for the expense of a new OEM type hanger, since you plan on going to duals. I installed the Mid-America 2 1/2" true duals, and each pipe is held up by a supplied "J" hanger in that location. While I used the supplied brackets and clamps, I did change over to SS nuts, in addition to anti-seize, for the "U" clamps, just to make removal a little easier, should it ever be required. I also installed new studs in the exhaust manifold, and use the deep, brass nuts, three on each side, for the exhaust pipe to manifold installation.
