I used heavy duty zip ties from home depot -- threaded them through the holes in the rubber hangers and pulled them in the right direction. They are anchored to some other part of the chassis. Can't see them...

Default M2 Axleback

I also bought the M2 Axleback, installed it about two months now...I have no issues with it but I'm just a little concerned about the moisture at the muffler tip. Every 2-3 days I have to wipe down the moisture and the exhaust residue. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm not sure why or what is going on? Some people told me that maybe I'm running rich? Please help if you got a potential answer....

What color is the moisture? My tips have excessive residue, however I was told that is just the nature of the IS250 engine

If I dont wipe it down for a few days the tip is like black almost. Ever since I've been pumping gas a little over 3/4 tank instead of filling it up to the max to test the "Running Rich" theory. So far I've notice a bit of a difference theres not as much moisture like before.
