You know you can buy exhaust hanger's in 10mm, 15mm and 20mm sizes (at least that's all I've seen at O'Reilly). You could put 10mm on the long side and 20mm's on the short side. My Tanabe hangs pretty even but I wanted it a little higher so I put the 10mm's on, on just the two center one's. I also put them on because the durometer of the rubber seems a little harder so I hope it would move a little less. I've heard of poly hanger's but the local mass auto stores didn't have any.

I thought I'd show you guys some pics also. I replaced part of my exhaust with other parts and swapped out my stock mufflers with some magnaflows. Look at my left side also.

Thanks for the pics James! Much appreciated. I'm going to play with the hanger/zip tie solution over the weekend.

I guess the sagging on the left side is common because it is heavier on that side being that the pipe is longer (?) Anyway, all of you have good ideas which I would be willing to try. As for the left pipe (not canister) being too low compared to stock, I guess it is normal for the Tanabe and I just won't worry about it. Thanks.

Now it looks like it's not dead center, but shifted to the left ever so slightly.

LOL yeah maybe I didn't adjust quite far enough, but it's definitely not noticeable and 10x better than what it was.

The tanabe tips look soooooo much better than the F-Sport ones. Good choice!

With the tanabe exhaust are you running it with the secondary cats and resonator ? Or did you take anything off ?

I had this issue with me Invidia q300

It also seems that the stock hangers allow our exhausts to bounce like basket *****....

My solution was to get hose clamps they're about $1.50 each.

Wrap it around the rubber hanger and tighten. This allows you to adjust the height as well as get rid of the bounce. They will also withstand the heat and last much longer than zipties.

Some ppl say it'll lessen the dampening that the rubber hangers provide, but tbh I dont notice any change in vibration
