New muffler hangers are really stretching low

[Kibokojoe]

Put on new muffler hangers tonight. Man that muffler must be one heavy pipe. The new hangers are really being tested. Doesn't seem to me that they will last very long.

Maybe go back & loosen the joints to relax any internal strain on the pipes & see if you can persuade the muffler to tilt up & re-tighten the joints? The upper brackets on the little prongs aft of the resonnator are slotted. Do you have an all one piece system or is it 2 pieces joined at the front of the rear muffler with clamps? If it's 2 pieces, lowering the resonnator donuts will tilt the tailpipe tips upward.

which ones? the 2 just in front of the rear subframe of the 2 in the back? the front 2 theres a couple brands and some of them suck, they have no reenforcement and are just rubber rings, the good ones have fiber bands in them and they don't stretch

I installed the #13 rubber ring on hangers #10 and #11 is this correct? The ring on the #11 hanger is really stretching low..

back ones IE: the bastards I had to remove the bumper to install cause im "gifted" and couldnt get on right without. He must have the rubber ones without the reinforcements...kinda like a soldier without a gun.
