Factory exhaust hanger advice

August 30, 2005, 10:41:59 PM

I know we prbably beat this topic to death, but I tried searching and nothing came up.

I purchased a BBK X-pipe assembly, factory 'Stang headers, and going to follow it up with a Flowmaster cat-back system with the 50 series lers, and O2 sensor extensions (BBK).

My question... After crawling under the car to see what I am getting myself into heres what I see. I do have the double hump crossmember, but not 2 rubber exhaust hangers at the end of the transmission. Where can I get the hanger? I will relocate the fuel filter assembly as far forward as I can get it. I am pretty sure I will be okay because the 50 series Flowmaster ler is only 9.75" wide. I also understand the car does not have factory hangers on the passenger side. Where can I get these; or retrofit something very similar. I do not want to half ass something up there, thats why I am asking for factory hangers. What do you guys think and do you have any suggestions? I have read Eric's very informative article on the dual-exhaust setup so I think I may have all the bases covered. Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for. Never would have it myself!

ANy thoughts on the hangers behind the axle? Or just look for a left side hanger and make it fit the right side?

That hanger will only work if you have a manual transmission installed. Otherwise you will need a hanger made for an automatic. Trust me. I learned this from personal experience underneath my own car.

I checked 50resto.com and all they had was the manual transmission hanger. I will keep scouring the 'net for the correct piece. I will not be buying those 93 n.o.s. hangers through ebay, they have em for 10 bucks on 50resto.com.

I couldn't find any companies that had them for sale when I was looking. I ended up buying mine from cougarman here on the board.

Is it because every mustang has dual exhaust? Im sure those guys wanted dual exhaust too. I just need to find out where their secret stash is.

Do you have the single hanger on your transmission? If so flip it 180 degrees and tweek it up slightly. That's what I did on mine because finding a dual hanger was difficult. Turned out to work pretty decent.
Just an idea for ya.
