How can I prevent breaking exhaust hangers? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

A while back, I broke all my rubber exhaust hangers in a quite short space of time. After getting them replaced, they all broke again under two weeks later. I've got my EXMAG ready to install now, and I really can't afford to have this thing dragging on the ground. Why did it happen twice? What can I do to prevent this problem?

Buy the Nismo ones???

Nismo makes exhaust hangers? I had no idea..... I'll check them out, then....

EDITL I couldn't find any indication that there exists such a thing as Nismo hangers. You're screwing with me, huh?

Cusco. makes them.

No luck finding either the Nismo or Cusco hangers anywhere. (At least, finding them for sale) Any idea where I should be looking?

also you could try wrapping your new exhaust hangers with bailing wire or big zip ties, do it so the rubber still has some shock absorbsion, but tight enough so the hangers wont break again

I have the Cusco ones and think that they are pretty sweet, I found them on eBay.

Yeah I bought 2 Nismo ones on eBay not too long ago. Sweet cause they're like 30% stiffer so my exhaust doesn't sway around like most other aftermarket exhausts do.

Use hose clamps like I do. Cheap, stronger than anything else, and you get more ground clearance.
