rear exhaust hangers

[rickshaw]

I noticed my exhaust is starting to hang low.

Is the rear exhaust supported by rubber hangers? Are the replacements available through aftermarket or only OEM?

Thanks to all!

Good question. Yes it is supported by rubber hangers. Don't know if they're available aftermarket. They're probably a fortune at the stealer.

Just run a hose clamp around the rubber hanger and tighten until it gets back up to the height you want.

Thanks for the tip!! My passenger's side tip/muffler hung lower than the driver's side ever since I had my new mufflers put in a couple years ago. Always bugged me. I'm going to go to the hardware store tomorrow and buy a clamp!

Wouldn't they melt?

If the rubber doesnt melt why would a steel hose clamp?

I think he's talking about the zip ties. Same arguement, though.

What size clamps work? I went to the hardware store today and picked up a couple of 1 3/4" - 2 3/4" clamps. I can't install them yet because its 92 degrees out and after driving my car my exhaust is probably 1000 degrees.

if you zip tie aroung the rubber, it won't melt. it also looks like you'll need a 3-4" hose clamp.

I installed my clamp last night just before it got dark. I hooked it around the 'bar' that comes straight out from the car and then hooked around the 'hook' that is at the base of the rubber. Is this how anyone else has done it? It seemed to work fine, as I was able to tighten the clamp up enough to perfectly balance my right tip to my left.

I was talkin about the plastic zip tie.. i don't know how hot the exhaust tips get but it's one of those questions in life i'd rather not find out
