Default exhaust hanger question.

I just picked up a 91 b16 hatch it has an invidia exhaust on it. Im wondering do they make a stiffer or stronger hanger? I can hear it bouncing on the back and buddies behind me say it moves quite a bit. ALL current hangers are still attached. Thanks.

Its not the hanger, the hanger is metal, its the bushing.

I had to put longer hangers on mine to clear my shifter. Mine moves a bit, but it doesn't hit anything when it moves. I don't think this is a harmful thing, but if anyone can see why it would be, let me know.

The biggest concern with me is having people behind me seeing my exhaust wobbling around, Ive seen it and think geez what hacks lol my car is certainly not hack built lol.

See if you have room to double them up, or you could use springs to hold it tighter. Or even add some filler into the bushings to make them stiffer.

Yea, my friends call me Mc Gyver..

I took hose clamps and tightened them up around the rubber bushing. It gave me more ground clearance and tightened them up at the same time.
