Default Sqeaky exhaust

I have a 2012 GS with a squeaky exhaust system, must be coming from all the mounts and brackets. Anyone else experience this and what did you do to correct it. It's under warranty but if it's a simple fix I'd just rather do it myself real quickly instead of leaving it at the dealer for the day.

The spring hangers that hold up the mid pipe sometimes get squeaky. Hold onto the end of one of the mufflers and see if it squeaks more when moved left/right, up/down or fore/aft. You won't hurt anything unless something is REALLY loose or broken.

It's the springs that hold the mid pipe. Annoying as hell. Get under the car with some grease. I used an old toothbrush to get up there & into all the areas of the spring mechanism. Put grease on toothbrush & rub all over spring. No more squeak
