So I just got an EM T1R 70mm exhaust and took it to the track. Loved it. Second session out around the end I hear my exhaust getting thrown around. I come off and check it out and notice it had came undone from the hangers and it was just resting there. I let it cool down and rehung it. Didn't come off the rest of the day thank god.
Circled in purple is the damage from the hot exhaust touching my bumper. The yellow circle is the unknown hanger. I have a MY07 and not sure if theres a rubber hanger there on other models? I called evasive and they said it would be ok with out it. So today I jacked the car up and noticed the hanger just before the resonator was off also. I then sprayed 50/50 alcohol/water to clean the rubber hangers and hangers. I'm hoping that will make it so they don't pop out.(i had used wd-40 to get the stock exhaust off)
This is how it was just resting.
Anyways I'm thinking about getting something to clamp around the hanger so it can't pop thru the rubber. Something like this but obviously a smaller one.
hmm... that's really weird mine came with a hanger that you bolt in (not sure if it's the same for MY07's).. but even so, I am surprised that it managed to pop out the rubber hanger. Make sure that there is no lubrication residue left on the metal hanger bolt that will allow it to slip out and also make sure the hanger isn't flexed too much.. meaning that the rubber piece is ready to come right off if shaken with enough force.
on a sidenote, I took my car to Laguna Seca for a track event and my T1R 70-EM was just fine.
Well I actually bought it used so that would probably explain it. Ill have to contact the guy and see if he has it. Hopefully it wasn't in the bottom of the box underneath a bunch of paper that I threw away.
It is suppose to come with a diff bracket which connects to the exhaust. This is the reason why the exhaust would pop off, it's missing a point that holds it in place.
