How can I keep my muffler from moving on the hangers? I need the muffler pushed outward and keep it there so it doesn't rattle on my hitch.
Try loosening to engine mounts and moving everything forward.::Clown::
I had that problem on my yellow car. I wrapped the hitch with part of an old inner tube. Worked for me.
Remove the muffler.
Use a hose clamp on the muffler hangar to limit the range the rubber can slide on the hangar.
I like the hose clamp idea...I'll give that a try. Thanks (to most of you).
Anytime.Quote:

I'm thinking of trying a few of these and securing them to the frame rails.

I made a heat resistant pad for my old FM exhaust using pipe foam covered in Cool Tape. It would last a few months before needing replacement.
Isn't there already a hanger for the midpipe? I recall having one on the POSIV.
Loosen the cat and block it from the rub, then tighten it all back up good.
I understand what you're saying, but if I can keep it from moving I'll only have to fix it once.Quote:

Put the oem exhaust back on. Thats what I did and now I have no rattle or drone and feels like it has more low-end torque.
Who let this clown in here??? Next you'll suggest that the Mazda engineers spent hundreds of hours designing/engineering the parts on the car to work together in an efficient, reliable system??!!??? How dare you suggest that the typical layman doesn't have the ability to randomly slap aftermarket parts onto a car and have an expectation of massive improvement???Quote:
