That is brilliant. I am definitely going to try that. The exhaust hitting the rear axle is SO annoying.

yes and no. the hangers are still attached, but the rubber piece itself is the problem. The rubber has too much elasticity, if thats how you spell that, and allows the exhaust to swing down.

this is what i had to do...
the last hanger before it goes over the axle, or whatever they call it, i had to take a rubber hose, cut in down the middle and wrap it on to the hanger part of the exhaust, and one on the hanger on the car. then i took two hose clamps and slid both of them on threw the hangers, tightened up the hose clamps so the rubber hoses squished togeather, and no more problem

ill try to get under my car today sometime and take a pic of you guys dont get it

I took 2 zipties and ziptied a piece of rubber hose around the exhaust hanger, the hose is there so it doesnt rattle at all. then i took a hose clamp and tightened it up and it pulled it up a full 2" now nothign scrapes or hits anything
yea it looks kinda hacked, but it works like a charm

so heater hose on the hanger then use a hose clamp around the exhaust hanger and the hanger on the car and tighten it up correct?
