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.

thanks ccass, yea your prolly right. Seems like a good idea on the adjustable
hanger straps. Ive got mine on order for a free exchange. :-)

Ive taken off the other straps and re-aligned the tailpipes and got the
mufflers in place, waiting for the new hangers. Looks like theyll need to
be 2 or 3 inches longer to hang mine.

Seems like the passenger side is harder to get aligned properly.
The driver side seems to align simply. I think I read this in another thread.

I hooked up the 'X' pipe to the front of the mufflers, just to get an idea.
The X hooked in nicely. The front of the X might need some work.

thanks again

The new muffler hangers worked out great!
I used the last hole on the straps.
Am finishing up tonight, woo hoo!
thanks all
