hey dm fan, I seen your post about new muffler hangers at PY.
They must not have them yet. They shipped me the current
replacement model. Do you know if the new ones will be longer(the rubber part) It looks that way from the picture you posted.

I did get my mufflers hung last night, using the current hanger.
That really tucks the mufflers way up there. Im crossing my fingers
that the tailpipes will still fit on ok. :-s

The new muffler hangers are available. We had and still have an amount of pre-built systems with the old hangers. If you want to return those hangers and exchange them for the new ones, just give PY a call.

If you put the muffler straps in the factory position, the mufflers will be too high and the tailpipes won't fit. You need to install the straps UNDER the framing using large washers. This will lower the mufflers and allow the tailpipes to fit better.

thanks ccass,
do you know if the new ones are longer to let the mufflers
hang lower, or will it still be the same problem.
If its going to be the same problem, then ill prolly just
stick with what i have.
heres the picture that dm fan posted a while back.

also how much do I need to lower the muffler? if anyone knows, thanks

the new ones look like the hanger in the middle. They have a longer rubber strap.

The correct height of the mufflers is determined by the proper alignment of the tailpipes. Get your tailpipes aligned where they clear nicely and then adjust your muffler height to the tails.

thanks for your time ccass.

It seems like if you had a std muffler hanger height that would work for a certain car (mine being 64 gto) then there would be no questions.
For instance, use "such and such" muffler hanger, hang the muffler, insert the tailpipe, then attach tailpipe hanger.
Maybe this is what the new hanger will accomplish. With the strap being longer, and 3 holes.
Then someone could come on here and tell me to use the third hole
to hang your muffler on the 64 or something like that.

Trying to adjust your muffler to your tailpipe is a pain in the knuckles.

It sure is fun tho ..... I love diggin the rust outta my eyes at the end
of a frustrating night trying to adjust my muffler to my tailpipes. :-)

unfortunately, when it comes to performance exhaust, there is not standard. That same tailpipe works for all A-bodies. With owners modifying their cars more than ever(headers, 2.5" pipe, 3" pipe, slicks, suspension upgrades, rears etc), it would be impossible to have a predetermined muffler hanger height. Hence, our idea to make an oem muffler hanger but with an extended length universal strap.

No matter what type of a hanger we design, we would ALWAYS recommend that you position your tailpipes first, then the mufflers to match that position.
